Home Prenatal Screening & Diagnostics ChromosomesCheck™
ChromosomesCheck™ is a rapid genetic test that detects common chromosome abnormalities using the QF-PCR (Quantitative Fluorescent Polymerase Chain Reaction) method. This test provides quick and accurate results by analyzing specific DNA markers from chromosomes.
ChromosomesCheck™ focuses on identifying the most common aneuploidies (abnormal number of chromosomes):
This test may be recommended for:
ChromosomesCheck™ offers targeted rapid answers, but it can be followed by Karyotyping or Chromosomal Microarray (CMA) for a more comprehensive analysis of structural and rare chromosomal abnormalities.
