Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA)

Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) is a genetic testing technique used to examine a person’s chromosomes for small missing or extra pieces of genetic material that may cause developmental or health issues. By analyzing DNA from a sample, CMA can identify changes that are too small to be detected by traditional methods. It helps in diagnosing genetic disorders, understanding developmental delays, and guiding treatment options. CMA is often done for individuals with unexplained medical conditions and can provide valuable insights into the underlying genetic factors contributing to their symptoms.
