Prenatal genetic testing

Prenatal genetic testing is the non-invasive analysis of the baby by doing a blood test on the mother. Blood is taken, as in a routine laboratory test, and the baby’s genetics (which it releases into its mother’s bloodstream) are analysed.

The mother’s blood contains free DNA from the baby,which, through mass sequencing technology and advanced bioinformatics analysis, is detected and identified to establish the risk present in pregnancy that the baby has a possible chromosomal abnormality (such as Down syndrome, Patau Syndrome…).

It does not pose risks for the pregnancy as it is a non-invasive test,and it complements the assisted reproduction techniques, making the fertility process even safer. It can be done from the 10th week of pregnancy, helping to calm the future mother’s fears and avoiding unnecessary amniocentesis, with the risk this carries for pregnancy.

Suitable for:

Couples who for personal or religious reasons do not want to resort to artificial insemination or in vitro fertilisation

Young couples without any specific infertility problems

Couples with poor or irregular ovulation
