The Fetal DNA test in maternal peripheral blood allows us to rule out specific alterations in the baby with a high rate of precision.
The Fetal DNA (or DNA) test in maternal peripheral blood is a non-invasive genetic screening method that allows us to rule out certain alterations in the baby with a high precision rate, including chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, or Patau syndrome, among others.
It can be performed from the 10th week of pregnancy.
It is important for the baby to come for the sample collection after fasting for a minimum of 6 hours
No, the fetal DNA test is safe for both you and the baby. There is no risk of harm to the fetus during the test.
Through this test, it is possible to rule out, with a high level of certainty, chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome (up to 99%), Edwards syndrome (up to 97%), Patau syndrome (up to 96%), and alterations in the baby’s sex chromosomes.
Genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and alterations in the baby’s sex chromosomes.
We take a sample of peripheral venous blood from your forearm through a small puncture. The blood extraction takes less than 10 minutes.
No, it is not an invasive method. We will only take a small blood sample from your arm, which poses no risk to the baby.
You do not need anesthesia for this test. During the blood extraction, you will only feel a slight prick.
Results are usually available between 10 and 14 business days after the sample is taken. Once validated, we will send them to your email and doctor’s.
