Integrated Genetics requires a maternal blood sample to conduct maternal cell contamination testing in conjunction with all prenatal molecular testing. Both amniotic fluid and CVS may have maternal cells present in the sample. These do not usually interfere with the accuracy of chromosome analysis, but are well-recognized as a potential source of error in molecular diagnosis. Integrated Genetics requires a maternal sample in order to provide maximal accuracy in prenatal molecular testing conducted in our laboratory.
