Microarray Analysis, also known as Chromosomal Microarray (CMA), is an advanced diagnostic technique that examines thousands of DNA segments simultaneously to detect deletions, duplications, or other genomic imbalances. It offers greater accuracy than traditional karyotyping and is widely used for both prenatal and postnatal genetic assessment across various clinical scenarios.

Microarray Analysis is performed using high-density DNA chips and automated hybridization systems with sophisticated analysis software. The test is particularly valuable for detecting causes of developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, recurrent pregnancy loss, or congenital anomalies that remain unexplained through routine testing.

Each sample undergoes detailed genomic profiling to identify copy number variations and structural abnormalities, providing clinicians with precise data for targeted interventions and personalized treatment strategies. The process is entirely non-invasive, requiring only a small DNA sample extracted from blood, amniotic fluid, or tissue specimens.

With its rapid turnaround time and high-resolution accuracy, Microarray Analysis helps couples and families understand complex genetic conditions early and make informed medical or reproductive decisions with complete confidence. This technology bridges the gap between clinical symptoms and genetic diagnosis, enabling better care outcomes.
