What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're pregnant and have had an abnormal ultrasound, an abnormal prenatal screening result, or a family history of a chromosomal condition. It helps identify tiny genetic changes in a developing baby that standard chromosome tests might miss. It's also useful if a sibling or parent has a known chromosome abnormality and you want to understand the risk for this pregnancy.

What's included in this test?

This test scans the entire set of fetal chromosomes at a much finer resolution than standard karyotyping, picking up missing or extra pieces of genetic material that can affect development. It also detects long stretches where genetic material is unusually similar, which can sometimes point to inherited conditions. Together, these findings give a much more detailed picture of fetal genetic health than older testing methods.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will appear in your account, with each finding explained in plain language along with what's considered typical. Depending on what's found, next steps may include additional targeted testing, closer monitoring of the pregnancy, or genetic counseling resources to help you understand the implications. A downloadable lab report is available in your account at any time, and you can revisit your results whenever needed through your account history.

How can I naturally support a healthy pregnancy?

While genetic findings from this test can't be changed through lifestyle, supporting overall pregnancy health can help create the best conditions for your baby's development. Eating a balanced diet with folate, iron, and omega-3s, staying well hydrated, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and keeping up with prenatal vitamins are all helpful steps. Regular movement and stress management, like walking or prenatal yoga, can also support a healthier pregnancy overall.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. Because this is a detailed genetic analysis, it takes a bit longer than routine blood work. You'll be notified as soon as your results are available in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who has received an abnormal ultrasound finding or abnormal prenatal screening result during pregnancy. It's also recommended if there's a known chromosomal abnormality in a parent or sibling, or a family history of unexplained developmental delay, intellectual disability, or congenital malformations. Genetic counseling can help you decide if this deeper level of testing makes sense for your situation.

What symptoms or findings suggest I may need this test?

Common reasons to consider this test include an ultrasound showing structural differences in the baby, unusual results from a prenatal blood screening test, or a history of pregnancy loss with an unknown cause. A family history of a child with developmental delays, intellectual disability, or birth differences is another common reason. If any of these apply to you, this test can offer more detailed answers than standard screening.

What is a chromosomal microarray and why does it matter?

A chromosomal microarray is a lab test that looks for very small missing or extra pieces of genetic material that regular chromosome tests can miss. These small changes can sometimes explain developmental conditions, birth differences, or unexplained pregnancy complications. Finding this information during pregnancy gives you more time to understand what to expect and plan next steps.

What does an abnormal microarray result mean?

An abnormal result means the test found a piece of genetic material that's missing, duplicated, or unusual in some way. Depending on which piece is affected, this can range from findings with no health impact to changes linked to developmental or medical conditions. The report explains what is known about the specific finding, and genetic counseling resources can help put the result into context for your pregnancy.

What should I do if my results show a genetic abnormality?

If your results show a finding, start by reading the detailed explanation included in your report, which describes what is currently known about that specific change. Consider connecting with a genetic counselor to talk through what the finding may mean for your baby and your options going forward. Keeping a copy of your report for future pregnancies or specialist visits is also a good idea, since this information can be relevant long-term.
