Product Description

XA X/Y/18

The XA X/Y/18 mix of specific probes allows detecting copy number variations for chromosomes X, Y, and 18. The probe mix is composed of repetitive sequences which hybridize to the centromeric region of chromosomes X in green, Y in orange, and 18 in blue (aqua).

Probe maps are created in accordance with the intended purpose of the product. Solid colored bars do not necessarily indicate that the probe fully covers the indicated genomic region. Therefore, caution is advised when interpreting results generated through off-label use. Probe map details based on UCSC Genome Browser GRCh37/hg19. Map components not to scale. Further information is available on request.

Clinical Details

Numerical aberrations of autosomes 13, 18, 21, and sex chromosomes X and Y account for 95% of birth defects in newborns. FISH applied to uncultured amniocytes provides a method to identify those aberrations much faster than conventional chromosome analysis. It has become a standard to provide preliminary results for the detection of anomalies in less than 12 hours.

Repetitive sequences around the centromeric region of chromosome 18 can reliably determine Edward's syndrome, while chromosome X and Y specifically detect Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY), Triple-X syndrome (47,XXX), Turner syndrome (45,X0), and 47,XYY.

IVDR Certification

MetaSystems Probes has received IVDR certification for our initial 26 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes from the notified body, BSI. Achieving this milestone was not without its challenges, and we are delighted to have accomplished IVDR certification for this probe set at an early stage.
