Non-invasive prenatal tests

An expecting mother can have four different prenatal chromosome and gene-disease tests.

 

• Panorama test helps to examine that the fetus in the womb does not have Down, Edwards or Patau syndrome, X-linked diseases (Klinefelter and Turner syndrome) or triploidy. The patient gets an answer in 14 days.

 

• In addition to the chromosome diseases above, Panorama XP test gives information also about the five most frequent genetic diseases that cause mental disability. The patient gets an answer in 14 days.

 

• The aim of the GeneSafe Complete test is to find out about 29 different fetal single gene pathologies that can cause 44 different de novo and 5 hereditary genetic diseases that are not very often detectable on ultrasound and often only appear in late pregnancy or the first years of life. The Vistara test requires a mother's venous blood test and a father's oral mucosa DNA test using a swab. The patient receives a response 21 days after the blood test has been performed.

 

 

 

 

A very early ultrasound examination of fetal developmental defects together with an NIPT-test at the 10th week of pregnancy and combining these studies with the OSCAR test at the 13th week of pregnancy is currently the most accurate combined prenatal screening for the early detection of chromosomal diseases and developmental defects in children.
