1. If you have experienced a miscarriage, you may be wondering what causes this and what you can do
to prevent this from happening in the future.
Pregnancy loss occurs more often than one might think. The chance of miscarriage increases with age. More
than half of first-trimester miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormality.
Aneuploidy screening for Product of Conception (POC) is a test for the possible genetic reasons behind
miscarriage, and to help you find the answers to your questions.
The product of conception contains tissues that develop during pregnancy. It contains placental, fetal, and
other types of tissues developed from the fertilized egg. Proper cytogenetic analysis on POC is significant for
better management of your future pregnancies.
We use high-density SNP microarray chips to test both maternal blood sample and POC to identify maternal
component contaminations.
Some indications for Aneuploidy Screening for POC may include:
• History of multiple miscarriages
• Pregnancy loss after a successful IVF
• Abnormal ultrasound findings
