Chromosomal Microarray, Postnatal, ClariSure® Oligo-SNP

Test Summary

Chromosomal microarray (CMA) detects aneuploidies, deletions and duplications below the resolution of chromosome analysis (karyotyping), and long continuous regions of homozygosity. CMA analysis can help to determine genetic causes of developmental delay (DD), intellectual disability (ID), dysmorphic features, congenital anomalies and pervasive developmental disorders. This test can also be ordered on parents to determine if a copy number variant in a child is inherited or de novo.
