Table 3.

Yield of genetic testing by time period

Pre-protocol time period Post-protocol time period
Completed Abnormal Abnormal (%) Completed Abnormal Abnormal (%)
Karyotype 307 56 18 33 25 76
22q11.2 testing 243 23 9 23 6 26
Microarray 292 70 24 94 21 22

The pre-protocol time period had increased utilization of Karyotype and 22q11.2 testing with low yield, but in the post-protocol period these tests were used more efficiently as reflected by an increased yield in abnormal test results. The rate of abnormalities identified by microarray showed no significant difference between the pre-protocol and post-protocol period showing that expanded utilization increases number of patients identified with chromosomal anomalies
