Chromosomal disorders/Abnormalities

Aaranya Biosciences introduces genomic health packages to help individuals assess genetic health status. We have both invasive and noninvasive tests. From either blood or saliva swab, we can help you gain insight into your genetic disposition. Any disease or syndrome is due to gene abnormalities or mutation.

Normally there 23 pairs of chromosomes in each human cell. Changes caused in the number of chromosomes leads to chromosomal conditions. Alongside thechange in chromosomal structure may also lead to chromosomal disorders/abnormalities.

Is chromosomal disorders/ abnormality inherited?

It might be possible that some chromosomal disorders can be inherited.However, most of the abnormalities are random and will depend on the type of chromosome. If the changes occur in a somatic cell it cannot be passed from one generation to the other. But if the abnormality occurs in a reproductive cell (Eggs & Sperm cells) then the abnormality can be passed onto the next generation.All your concerns can be discussed with our genetic counselor.

Does it run in the family?

It is usually difficult to tell if a particular condition in a family is inherited. Genetic professionals discuss the health history of the persons immediate and extended family. This will help assess the lifestyle and health condition of a persons family.

CHROMOSOMAL DISORDERS

• Down syndrome
• Edward Syndrome
• Patau Syndrome
• Klinefelter Syndrome
• Prader-Willi Syndrome
• Angelman Syndrome
• & Many More

Things to Remember

• Genetic testing helps in making a predictive health forecast
• Many people suffer from depression, anxiety or guilt after the test. We recommend genetic counseling to prevent such emotional implications
• The results only describe the risk for a particular disease
• It doesnt say that you have the disease
• Regardless of the mutation only a few people develop the disease
• Out of 100 people who take genetic screen, there is a significant chance that only 25 might develop cancer

At Aaranya Biosciences we use Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze chromosomal abnormalities or disorders. Our tests provide scope to understand what the abnormalities mean and how it will affect you.

At Aaranya Biosciences we help you learn about the inherited and acquired genetic risks that might hamper your wellbeing. Our genetic test will help you take early precautions to disease which would have gone unnoticed normally.
