Overview
The Trisomy (Aneuploidy) FISH test is performed on amniotic fluid samples to detect aneuploidies specifically in chromosomes 13 and 21 using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization. This diagnostic test is crucial for prenatal screening and diagnosis, aiding in the identification of conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13). To ensure accurate analysis, it is important to submit a detailed clinical history, including the anomaly scan report, along with the sample. Additionally, a consent form in accordance with the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) guidelines must be duly signed and provided. The Trisomy FISH test offers valuable information to expectant parents and healthcare professionals, allowing for informed decisions, appropriate counseling, and support in managing pregnancies involving these chromosomal abnormalities.

Frequently Asked Questions
This test detects aneuploidies specifically in chromosomes 13 and 21 in the amniotic fluid.
This test is primarily done to detect genetic conditions like Down syndrome and Patau syndrome in the fetus during pregnancy. It helps in identifying chromosomal abnormalities early on, allowing for appropriate medical management and counselling.
This test is recommended for pregnant women who have a higher risk of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalities due to factors like advanced maternal age or abnormal results from other prenatal screenings. It is also recommended for women with a family history of genetic disorders.
Abnormal results indicate the presence of trisomy 13 or 21, which can lead to genetic disorders. However, abnormal results do not confirm a diagnosis and should be discussed with a doctor for further evaluation and counselling.
During the test: • A sample of amniotic fluid will be collected using a sterile falcon centrifuge tube. • The sample will be sent to the laboratory for analysis using the FISH method.
Before the test: • Detailed clinical history, including anomaly scan report, must be submitted with the sample. • A duly signed consent form as per PCPNDT must be provided. • Follow any specific instructions provided by your doctor regarding fasting or medication. Please reach out to your healthcare provider for any specific requirements.
Additional tests that may be ordered alongside this test include: • First trimester screening: A combination of blood tests and ultrasound to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities • Level II ultrasound: A detailed ultrasound examination to detect any structural abnormalities in the foetus • Cell-free DNA testing: A blood test that screens for certain chromosomal abnormalities in high-risk pregnancies
Trisomy 13 & 21 FISH amniocentesis, Trisomy 13 & 21 FISH test
