Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) or Microarray is a whole genome test available to detect a wide range of genetic syndromes caused by microdeletions and duplications in the genone. Microarray scans the entire genome at very high resolution using DNA from the individual and provides information on thousands of genes in a single test. It can precisely define which genes are missing or extra.
This test is done using ‘High Definition’ (HD) or ‘High Resolution’ chips and provides the maximum coverage and clarity across the genome. Using the high resolution chips, one can confidently diagnose and/or rule out all possible microdeletion/duplication syndromes. These are the best resolution chips available for diagnostic purpose.
Technique:
Chromosomal Microarray (CMA).
Specialities:
