A high-resolution cytogenetic tool to assess microlevel changes in the chromosome

Chromosomal MicroArray (CMA) Overview

The genetic material of humans is packed into small units called chromosomes that have their own genetic combinations. The slightest change in the genetic combination of these chromosomes– either addition, deletion, or an exchange – can result in birth defects, developmental delays, autism, and other health issues. The Chromosomal MicroArray is a high-resolution molecular genetic test that screens for such varied chromosomal DNA changes that may otherwise go undetected

When is the test recommended?

CMA testing is often recommended in the following scenarios:

  1. Multiple abnormalities which are not specific to a genetic syndrome
  2. Non-syndromic developmental delay or intellectual disability
  3. Autism Spectrum Disorders
