Every year, about 5% of newborn babies have developmental disabilities. In most cases, this is due to genetic factors. For the timely detection of hereditary pathologies, modern medicine offers various screening techniques. One of the most effective studies to date is the Panorama non-invasive prenatal test. The NIPT test is an examination based on the study of fetal DNA taken from maternal blood samples. The panorama test is the most accurate NIPT available on the market and detects 13 different chromosomal abnormalities. The test result, in addition to the risk of developing chromosomal abnormalities, also contains information about the future baby's sex. The test is possible from the 9th week of pregnancy.
The panorama DNA test is indicated for all pregnant women who want to know more about the health of their baby even before birth. The test is especially recommended in such cases:
Testing may be ineffective if it is carried out before 10 weeks of pregnancy, with multiple pregnancies (more than 2 children), as well as during pregnancy with a surrogate mother or from donor eggs. The panorama test is not recommended in situations of bone marrow transplantation or a history of cancer in the mother.
No special preparation is required before the test. On the eve of the tests, it is recommended to exclude fatty, spicy, fried foods from the diet, and to stop drinking alcoholic beverages. On the day of blood donation, you can easily have breakfast.
To carry out the NIPT Panorama test, only up to 20 ml of venous blood of a pregnant woman is required. The obtained blood sample is centrifuged and using special sequencing technology, the genomes of the mother and child are processed. The isolated DNA of the baby is analyzed on a computer, according to the results of which the level of risk of developing chromosomal abnormalities is determined.
Testing usually takes up to two weeks to complete.
