Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (GP1/GP2)Back

One step ahead in monitoring health status of fetus, more comprehensive preparation for a healthy baby

 

Benefits of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT):

Most chromosomal diseases develop when eggs are fertilized. They are random events that could happen to any pregnancy from completely healthy parents. In addition, according to statistics, parents who give birth later in life tend to have a higher chance of carrying babies affected by chromosomal abnormalities.

 

This test can be done at as early as the 10th week of pregnancy. It can accurately determine the risk of fetus experiencing disorders related to chromosomal abnormalities, which can further result in the baby's premature death, intellectual problems, hypoplasia or mental retardation. Based on test results, doctors can offer professional advice on follow-up and parents can take well-informed actions one step ahead.

 

This is the first step in safeguarding the health of your baby

Testing Items Include :


Trisomies

  • T13 Patau Syndrome
  • T18 Edwards Syndrome
  • T21 Down Syndrome

Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies*

  • XYY Jacob's Syndrome
  • XXX Triple-X Syndrome
  • XXY Klinefelter Syndrome
  • X0 Turner Syndrome/Monosomy

Micro Deletion

  • 2q33.1 deletion
  • 1p36 deletion
  • 11qter (Jacobsen)
  • Cri-du-chat
  • Other microdeletions over 7Mb

 

It can also show the Gender of the fetus and is applicable to Twin Pregnancies.

 

*Only for singleton

 

 

Safe Sampling & Eliminates the Risk of Miscarriage

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing can be performed before the child is born. Because the chromosomal DNA in the fetal cells can be released into the maternal blood circulation, only 10mL of maternal blood is required for testing, without the need of amniocentesis or collection of villi (fetal fluid or villi) to avoid the risk of miscarriage.

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (GP1/GP2) Service Procedure

The principle of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (GP1/GP2)

Fetal cell-free DNA is released regularly into maternal blood circulation. 

With only the maternal blood sample, we can detect the cell-free DNA of the fetus.
