What is Karyotyping (Prenatal)?
Prenatal Karyotyping examines fetal chromosomes directly from a sample obtained via amniocentesis or CVS (chorionic villus sampling), giving a definitive diagnosis of chromosomal conditions rather than a risk estimate like NIPT or marker screening. Usually done as a follow-up when a screening test comes back higher-risk, since amniocentesis/CVS themselves carry a small procedural risk that a blood-based screen doesn't.
Why is Karyotyping (Prenatal) done?
- Directly examines the baby's chromosomes from amniotic fluid (amniocentesis) or chorionic villi (CVS).
- Gives a definite diagnosis for conditions such as Down syndrome, rather than a risk estimate.
- Used to confirm a high-risk screening result or an abnormal ultrasound finding.
Who may be advised to take Karyotyping (Prenatal)?
- Pregnancies with a high-risk NIPT, Double Marker, Triple Marker or Quadruple Marker result.
- Pregnancies with abnormal ultrasound findings.
- Couples with a previous child or pregnancy affected by a chromosomal condition, or a known parental chromosome rearrangement.
