The test identifies the chromosomal composition of a biological material sample using DNA diagnostics. The NGS method is applied when the material is unsuitable for karyotyping or when determining mosaicism and unbalanced chromosomal rearrangements is required. The test does not detect polyploidy or balanced chromosomal rearrangements.

Processing time: up to 30 business days.

Service cost: as per the price list.

Service locations: Dobrobut Medical Center, 3 Semyi Idzykovskykh St. and Dobrobut Medical Center, 12-A Mykola Bazhana Ave.

Performed by: ULTRAGENOME laboratory.

Indications for the test:

• Suspicion of unbalanced chromosomal abnormalities (excluding polyploidy).

Contraindications:

• Prolonged storage of material after collection.

Preparation for the test:

For chorionic samples (including abortion material):

• The material must be sterilely collected in a physiological solution without blood clots.
• Sterile saline solution can be used for washing in an operating or procedural room.
• Store in a refrigerator in a sterile container (a urine collection container can be used).
• Important: the addition of heparin is prohibited.

For medicated abortions:

• All material must be placed in saline and stored in a refrigerator.

For blood samples (postnatal):

• EDTA-K tube (minimum volume – 4 ml), stored in a refrigerator.

For amniotic fluid:

• Minimum volume – 5 ml (for pregnancies over 17 weeks), stored at room temperature.

Additional conditions:

• The material must be accompanied by a doctor's referral and the patient’s informed consent for genetic testing.

Age restrictions: none.

Appointment procedure:
