Genetic laboratory

The biggest hope of a pregnant woman is a birth of healthy and normal baby.
Mostly the newborn babies are in normal condition; but 2-3% of them are born with a serious malformation which can arouse severe aftereffects or even threatens a life of baby. There are very diverse types, forms and causes of malformation. 40% of causes of congenital malformation is found while 60% is unknown yet. It is not an easy task to find whether a baby has malformation before giving birth.
Genetic laboratory will share the happiness of having a healthy baby with all mothers through diagnosis of chromosomal abnormality.

Types of chromosomal abnormality test

Chorion test

It is a test that checks if a baby has a chromosomal abnormality within about 4 days after short incubation by extracting chorion, placenta in the early pregnancy, by injection needle and ultrasound inducement through vagina in the early stage (10th to 12th week). The incubation takes about 2 weeks.

Amniotic fluid test

Amniotic fluid test is relatively safe and common method of diagnosis which finds out whether a baby has a malformation by conducting chromosomal abnormality test and biochemical examination by extracting a little amniotic fluid from a uterus.

FISH(Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization)

It finds out numerical abnormality of chromosomes from some part of extracted amniotic fluid within 48 hours without incubation.

Peripheral blood test

It is a test that figures out a possibility of chromosomal abnormality with the blood of parents. A high-risk patient needs more detailed examination.

Abortus tissue test

In the case of habitual abortion, analysis on chromosome from abortus tissue, such as placenta, to check the possibility of abortion by chromosomal abnormality is necessary.
