PRENATAL TESTS

GeneSAFE™ Inherited / Inherited Risk / screens for 5 common inherited recessive genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, β-thalassemia, companion-cell anemia, deafness - autosomal recessive type 1A, deafness - autosomal recessive type 1B.

 GeneSAFE™ De Novo/Age Factor/ screens for 44 severe genetic disorders due to de novo mutations (gene mutation that is not inherited) in 25 genes that cause skeletal dysplasia, congenital heart defects, multiple congenital malformation syndromes, neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, epilepsy, intellectual disability and sporadic cases of various rare dominant Mendelian disorders such as Schinzel-Gedion syndrome and Bohring-Opitz syndrome. GeneSafe Age Risk is the first non- invasive prenatal test that considers the age of the father as a risk factor, not just that of the mother. As the age of the father increases (over 40-45 years), the risk of having a child with a similar condition due to spontaneous genetic mutations in the male's spermatogenesis rises. 

GeneSAFE ™ Complete includes gene testing in the GeneSafe ™ Inherited and GeneSAFE ™ De novo, providing a complete picture of pregnancy risk.
