The CMA genetic testing uses a microchip-based platform called a microarray. Here’s how it works:
- DNA Preparation: Your DNA is extracted from a sample (like blood), then fragmented, amplified, labelled and allowed to bind to the microarray chip.
- Probes: The chip contains thousands of tiny probes designed to bind to a specific region of your labeled DNA.
- Detection: The test detects copy number variations (CNVs)—small deletions or duplications of DNA segments.
