Early answers

Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) consists in analyzing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) circulating in the maternal blood in order to detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Testing can be performed as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Safe and accurate

From a simple blood test, NIPT enables safe and early access to reliable results and helps reduce the number of unnecessary invasive procedures.

Global Endorsement

International scientific societies have recognized cell-free DNA testing as the most sensitive and specific screening test for the common fetal aneuploidies, and recommended that it is offered to all pregnant women.1,2

Making NIPT accessible to all women

This webinar aims to address some of the obstacles that have prevented the widescale adoption of NIPT. Issues such as: cost, focus, precision and ease of use will all be examined by our speakers and then reevaluated using PerkinElmer's new Vanadis® NIPT platform. Speakers include Prof. Howard Cuckle (Tel Aviv University, Israel) and Dr Alka Chaubey (PerkinElmer Global Genomic, USA)

What You Can Screen For

Common Trisomies

Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)

Down syndrome, also called trisomy 21, is associated with the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. It is the most common chromosomal disorder in liveborn children and, although typically random, does occurs more commonly in the offspring of women as they get older.

Common Trisomies

Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)

Edwards syndrome, also called trisomy 18, is a chromosomal disorder associated with the presence of an extra chromosome 18. It is the second most common autosomal trisomy among liveborn children.

Common Trisomies

Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)

Patau syndrome, also called trisomy 13, is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 13 in all or some of the cells.
