Testing Algorithm
This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis, and professional interpretation of results for one probe set (2 individual fluorescence in situ hybridization probes). Additional charges will be incurred for additional probe sets performed. Analysis charges will be incurred based on the number of cells analyzed per probe set. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred.
Appropriate ancillary probes may be performed at consultant discretion to render comprehensive assessment. Any additional probes will have the results included within the final report and will be performed at an additional charge.
Special Instructions
Method Name
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)
Reporting Name
Newborn Aneuploidy Detection, FISHSpecimen Type
Whole bloodOrdering Guidance
This test does not detect aneuploidy of chromosomes other than 13, 18, 21, X, or Y. This test does not detect other chromosomal or structural anomalies and is intended to be ordered in conjunction with chromosomal microarray or chromosome analysis.
Low levels of mosaicism involving chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, or Y may not be detected by this procedure.
Additional Testing Requirements
Normal fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results will not exclude the majority of cytogenetically detectable abnormalities. FISH testing should be ordered in conjunction with additional cytogenetic testing (CHRCB / Chromosome Analysis, Congenital Disorders, Blood; or CMACB / Chromosomal Microarray, Congenital, Blood), as it does not substitute for complete cytogenetic analysis.
Shipping Instructions
Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.
Necessary Information
A reason for testing is requested with each specimen. The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided; however, appropriate testing or interpretation may be compromised or delayed in some instances. If not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.

All specimens will be evaluated at Mayo Clinic Laboratories for test suitability.Clinical Information
Up to 95% of chromosomal abnormalities diagnosed prenatally involve aneuploidy (gain or loss of whole chromosome) of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y.
In liveborn infants, about 8 in 1000 have a major chromosome anomaly, of which 6.5 in 1000 involve aneuploidy of 1 of these 5 chromosomes.
Diagnosis of chromosomal disorders can be performed by chromosome analysis of uncultured blood, standard chromosome study, and the technique utilizing fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) based on interphase cells. Standard chromosome analysis takes 3 to 10 days and analysis from uncultured newborn blood is often unsatisfactory and labor-intensive. FISH-based methods facilitate rapid diagnosis of aneuploidy and may be helpful in medically urgent evaluations of newborn infants suspected to have aneuploidy of any of these chromosomes.
This test does not detect chromosomal aneuploidies other than 13, 18, 21, X, and Y or any structural anomaly that does not result in gain of these chromosomes.
Low levels of mosaicism involving chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, or Y may not be detected by this assay.
Reference Values
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
When no significant abnormalities are detected by the targeted fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes, a simple descriptive interpretation is provided. When abnormal results are detected, a detailed interpretation is given, including an overview of the results and of their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, recommendations for additional testing, and contact information for the laboratory if there are additional questions.
Cautions
The use of these probes has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a stand-alone test. However, we recommend that a complete chromosome analysis (CHRCB / Chromosome Analysis, Congenital Disorders, Blood) or chromosomal microarray (CMACB / Chromosomal Microarray, Congenital, Blood) be performed in conjunction with this test. In cases where the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis is normal, a chromosome analysis or chromosomal microarray allows for the potential identification of more complex abnormalities and the less common numeric abnormalities of other chromosomes. In cases where the FISH study is abnormal, chromosome analysis can determine whether the abnormality is due to aneuploidy or a complex structural abnormality, allowing for recurrence risk information for the family.
Low levels of mosaicism involving chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, or Y may not be detected by this procedure.
Interfering factors:
-Cell lysis caused by forcing the blood quickly through the needle
-Use of an improper anticoagulant or improperly mixing the blood with the anticoagulant
-Excessive transport time
-Inadequate amount of specimen may not permit adequate analysis
-Improper packaging may result in broken, leaky, and contaminated specimen during transport
Method Description
This test is performed using probes for the centromere regions of chromosome X (DXZ1), Y (DYZ3), and 18 (D18Z1), and locus-specific probes for 13q14 and 21q22. For each probe set, 2 technologists independently analyze 50 interphase nuclei (100 total). Aneuploidy of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y is reported.(Unpublished Mayo method)
