Signature PrenatalChip®TE
The Signature PrenatalChip®TE (Targeted Enhanced) features a unique clinically-relevant targeted design with low-density 100 kb backbone.
This NEW oligo-based design:
- Detects chromosome imbalances expected to be identified by karyotyping, providing reassurance that the fetal karyotype is normal.
- Offers enhanced capability to detect and characterize chromosome imbalances that are too small to be identified by karyotyping.
Suggested prenatal uses for this microarray include cases with:
- Multiple congenital anomalies
- Ultrasound abnormalities with normal karyotype results
- AMA or maternal anxiety.
Technical specifications:
- Oligonucleotide-based microarray
- Over 55,000 oligo probes
- Over 160 clinically recognized syndromes
- Backbone coverage of oligo probes placed every 100 kb
- Probes every 10 kb in targeted regions
