Application of Chromosomal Karyotype Analysis Combined With Chromosomal Microarray Analysis in the Amniotic Fluid of Advanced Maternal Age

The overall abnormal rate of chromosomal karyotype analysis increases with maternal age, while the overall abnormal rate of CMA shows no significant correlation with maternal age. The abnormal rates are significantly higher in AMA with additional factors. The combination of chromosomal karyotype analysis and CMA can validate and complement each other, thereby improving the detection rates of chromosomal abnormalities in amniotic fluid samples of AMA. This provides a diagnostic basis for subsequent pregnancy choices, which effectively reduces the birth of fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities and enhances population quality.
