Analysis of Aminotic Fluid
Amniocentesis (KT+FISH): A medical procedure used for the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities and foetal infections. Here, a small amount of amniotic fluid, containing foetal cells, is sampled from the amniotic sac surrounding a developing foetus. Then, the foetal DNA is examined for genetic abnormalities. Post collection, the fluid is delivered to the genetics lab. The greatest advantage of undergoing Amniocentesis at Argenomics is the RAPID FISH reporting time of 24- 48 hours. This, in itself greatly helps to get rid of anxiety among pregnant women.
Indications:
- USG anomalies
- Strong markers in case of Down’s syndrome (unossified NB, hypoplastic NB)
- To confirm both Intermediate and High-Risk positive NIPT.
- Biochemical screen positive
- In case of a previous child with Down’s syndrome or a family history showing genetic disorder.
- Advanced maternal age (above 35years) and pregnancy.
One of the major reasons for the recurring pregnancy losses and IVF failures is a disorder occurring in the endometrium which mainly concerns abnormal gene expressions. Now using the procedure Endometrial Receptor Gene Assay (ERGA), it is possible to...
This is the prenatal genetic testing of foetal chromosomal aneuploidies from Mother’s Blood. We have the credit of being the first centre in the Indian subcontinent to develop in-house Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) which is 99.9% sensiti...
