Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT)
In the last few years, the noninvasive prenatal testing of chromosomal abnormalities became part of the medical practice. These tests are Panorama, Harmony, Veracity, Prenatest, etc., and their function is based on the fact that free (extracellular) DNA from the baby circulates in woman’s blood. The noninvasive prenatal testing for chromosomal abnormalities is not risky for the pregnancy, because the sampling is through vein puncture and the baby’s DNA is in the mother’s blood. This technology, based on DNA analysis, determines with exclusive accuracy the presence of specific chromosomal abnormalities in just 7 to 14 days. In Dr. Shterev Hospital we offer the world leading prenatal tests.
