Chromosomal Microarray Analysis of Amniotic Fluid (Cyto-80+)

Specifically designed for Asians, Phalanx Biotech’s clinical chromosome microarray is used for 80 disorders of higher incidence, including developmental delay and intellectual disorder, with 500~1000x resolution when compared to conventional options.

Younger mothers should also watch out for chromosomal disorders

With the advancement of gene test technology, scientists found that copy number variation (CNV) is the cause of hundreds of hereditary disorders. Conventional amniotic test (karyotyping) only reveals part of the hereditary risks.

CNV is an all-age risk, and not just seen in geriatric pregnancy! In a joint statement by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM), it is recommended to use chromosome microarray as a prenatal diagnostic tool and promote it for pregnancies of all age groups.

Common clinical symptoms of CNV

Delayed growth
Fetal development delay
Intellectual development disorder
learning disorder
Neurological development disorder

Motor disorder
Dystonia
Cardiovascular developmental disorder
Facial feature developmental disorder
Other congenital developmental disorder

Disease detection

Phalanx Biotech’s chromosome microarrays can be used for the screening of aneuploidy such as Down syndrome and a total of 80+ disorders. Specifically focused on developmental delay and intellectual disability, for example, Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Edwards syndrome, hemophilia A/B, forebrain defects, obesity, Prader-Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, DiGeorge’s syndrome, Cri du chat syndrome, 1p36 deletion syndrome, Patau syndrome, and other disorders associated with chromosomal microdeletion and microamplification.
