CVS Chorionic Villus Material is a group of cylindrical cells in the inner wall of the placenta called chorionic villi. It is a biopsy taken from the inner wall of the placenta.
CVS biopsy is taken from the placenta between 11 (~) 13 weeks of pregnancy and all chromosomes or genetic analyzes of the baby can be performed.
Ankara Genetics has performed chromosome analysis from CVS on over 2500 patients with 20 years of experience.
Biopsy of CVS material should be taken by specialized physicians and sent to the Genetics Laboratory with appropriate transfer solutions. In this way, the biopsy sample does not harm the baby.
CVS can look at the entire genetics of the baby. Especially on day 1, as soon as the CVS is taken, a preliminary diagnosis can be made by looking at 13,18,21,X,Y chromosomes with the FISH method.
With 20 years of experience in our center; You can learn whether your baby is chromosomally healthy or not within 24 hours using the FISH method.
We can clearly detect chromosomal defects such as Down Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome, Patau syndrome, sex chromosome disorders, etc.
Trisomy 21 or Mongolism is a genetic disorder characterized by the presence of 3 of the 21st chromosome. Down Syndrome is the only autosomal trisomy in which a person can live longer than one year.
It can be diagnosed during pregnancy by amniocentesis, CVS or cordocentesis. It occurs in every 750 (~) 1000 live births.
It is a chromosomal disorder that occurs when the 18th chromosome has 3 pieces. It is the most common autosomal anomaly after Down Syndrome. It has an incidence of one in every 5000 live births.
While the death of the baby occurs before the last month of pregnancy, 5% to 10% of the babies born can live over 1 year of age.
The majority of trisomy 18 patients have developmental delay and hand and foot anomalies.
It is a chromosomal disorder in which the 13th chromosome is 3. It occurs in one in 10,000 live births. Usually 70% of babies die in the 4th month after birth. Developmental delay is seen in the heart, digestive system and anterior part of the brain. It is usually seen in older pregnancies.
45 X is a syndrome that affects girls. It occurs when 1 of the sex chromosomes is missing. The external appearance, i.e. phenotype, appears female, but the sex cells do not develop. There is short stature. The function of the ovaries is insufficient. They are infertile individuals.
47 XXY only occurs in males. It is an excess of an X chromosome. Testosterone levels are low. Sex chromosomes are irregular. The external appearance phenotype may include long arms, a slab, and a cylindrical face.
To detect all these syndromes, CVS during pregnancy and 24 hour FISH method give results. After the preliminary diagnosis, it is necessary to wait for long-term cell culture. The full diagnosis is made in our center with chromosome analysis within 3 weeks after long-term cell culture.
Chromosomes showing mental retardation and sex chromosome anomalies can be detected by FISH. However, the complete result is obtained by examining all 23 chromosomes with long-term cell culture.
First of all, chorionic villus material biopsy is performed with an inverted microscope and imaging software system under a microscope by expert biologists to determine whether the tissue belongs to the mother or the baby and the tissues belonging to the baby are separated.

Within 3 weeks, all chromosomes are analyzed and a diagnostic report is given.
If there is a risk on NIPT, CVS is sufficient to make a diagnosis at 12 (~) 13 weeks at the earliest. If it is past 12 (~) 13 weeks, Amniocentesis can be performed at 16 weeks.
Our center mainly provides services in the fields of genetic counseling, cytogenetics, molecular cytogenetics and molecular genetics. The problems of our patients who apply to our center, which are thought to have genetic causes, are helped by using up-to-date information and technology.
Cytogenetic TestsChromosome disorders form an important category of genetic disease. Cytogenetic tests examine the number and morphology of chromosomes.
Molecular TestsDiseases that cause deterioration of human health and change the living order are diagnosed and detected through molecular tests.
Molecular Cytogenetic Tests (Fish)It is a discipline that expands the scope and increases the diagnostic value of routine chromosome analysis with the combined use of molecular biology and cytogenetic techniques.
Cancer Scanning TestsDiagnosis of cancer at an early stage greatly affects the success of cancer treatment. Many cancer tests are performed in our genetic diagnosis center.
+90(312) 217 3226We offer genetic analysis and clinical consultancy services at the highest technology and quality standards, using the most up-to-date scientific knowledge, diagnosis and treatment methods.
