What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're pregnant and have concerns about your baby's chromosomal health, such as advanced maternal age, an abnormal ultrasound finding, or an unusual maternal serum or cell-free DNA screening result. It's also a good option if you or your partner carry a chromosomal rearrangement, or if you've previously had a child with a chromosome abnormality. This test analyzes a sample of the chorionic villus (placental tissue) to look closely at your baby's chromosomes during pregnancy.

What's included in this test?

This test examines all 23 pairs of your baby's chromosomes to check the number, structure, and pattern of each one. It looks for missing, extra, rearranged, or mixed (mosaic) chromosome material, and it will also confirm your baby's chromosomal sex. Catching these differences early gives you clear information to plan for your pregnancy and your baby's care.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with each finding explained so you understand what's normal and what isn't. If a chromosome abnormality is detected, the report outlines what that specific finding means and what next steps to consider, including whether follow-up testing is recommended. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account for your records. Because this is a one-time diagnostic test rather than an ongoing marker, the trends feature isn't typically used here, but your results remain saved for future reference.

How can I naturally support a healthy pregnancy?

While chromosome differences aren't caused by lifestyle and can't be changed through diet or supplements, supporting your overall pregnancy health is still valuable. Eating a balanced diet, taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid, staying hydrated, and avoiding alcohol, smoking, and unnecessary medications all support a healthier pregnancy. Regular prenatal checkups and open communication about any test results help you make informed decisions as your pregnancy progresses.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is collected and processed at the lab. Chromosome analysis takes time because lab specialists need to grow and carefully examine the cells from the sample. You'll be notified as soon as your results are posted to your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for pregnant individuals who are of advanced maternal age, received an abnormal ultrasound or serum screening result, or had an unclear cell-free DNA screen. It's also recommended if you've had a previous pregnancy affected by a chromosome condition, or if you or your partner are known carriers of a chromosomal rearrangement. Genetic counseling alongside this test can help you understand your personal risk factors.

What symptoms or situations indicate I may need this test?

You may want this test if your ultrasound showed unusual findings like growth differences or physical markers, or if a blood screening test came back with an increased risk result. A family history of chromosome conditions, repeated pregnancy loss, or being an older parent are also common reasons to consider this test. Any of these situations are worth discussing before deciding on chromosome analysis.

What is chromosomal mosaicism and why does it matter?

Mosaicism means that some of your baby's cells have a different chromosome makeup than others, instead of every cell being the same. This matters because the effects can vary widely depending on which cells are affected and how many, making the result harder to interpret without careful review. Chorionic villus sampling is specifically able to detect this kind of mixed pattern, which some other screening tests may miss.

What does an abnormal chromosome result mean?

An abnormal result means the lab found an extra, missing, or rearranged chromosome, or a mix of different chromosome patterns among your baby's cells. What this means for your pregnancy depends heavily on which chromosome is involved and the specific type of change found, which the report will explain. This information helps you and your family plan ahead and consider what additional support or testing might be helpful.

How often should I retest?

This test is generally done once per pregnancy since it's looking at a fixed, unchanging genetic makeup rather than a value that fluctuates over time. If results are unclear or a mosaic pattern is found, a follow-up sample or a different testing method like amniocentesis may be suggested to confirm the finding. Each pregnancy is separate, so this test would be repeated for future pregnancies if similar concerns arise.
