TEST SCOPE
Each plan separates the conditions screened from information outside its scope.
Estimates the chance of trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) and trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).
Screens for selected numerical sex-chromosome differences, including patterns associated with Turner, Klinefelter and triple X syndromes.
Analyses numerical differences across autosomes 1–22 and sex chromosomes. The meaning of a result varies by chromosome.
Selected regions are explained according to the plan. Refer to the pre-test information for the current scope.
These differ from NIPT in purpose, specimen and interpretation. Confirm genes, method, price and eligibility separately.
NIPT does not assess every congenital condition, structural difference, developmental outcome or future health state.
PROCESS
Confirm gestational age, pregnancy details, preferred area, clinic or home-visit preference, and test scope.
Visit a partner provider, or use nurse home collection when a participating provider can arrange it, then provide about 10 ml of blood after the required consultation and consent.
The specimen is sent to an overseas laboratory for the selected analysis.
The current estimate is 10–14 days after laboratory receipt.
LIMITATIONS
FAQ
Consultation, blood collection, diagnostic testing or repeat sampling may involve separate charges. Confirm the total when booking.
The plans differ in whether they include sex chromosomes, whole-chromosome analysis, selected inherited conditions or selected microdeletions.
