  • 22 Fevral 2025

Genetic testing during pregnancy plays an essential role in assessing the baby’s health and detecting potential genetic conditions early. Our laboratories provide reliable and precise genetic testing for expectant mothers.

Essential Prenatal Genetic Tests

Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT): A blood sample from the mother is used to analyze the baby’s genetic makeup and detect chromosomal anomalies like Down syndrome.

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS): A sample from the placenta is tested to identify genetic conditions.

Amniocentesis: A sample of amniotic fluid is examined for a more detailed analysis of the baby’s genetic structure.

Importance of Genetic Testing

These tests provide critical insights into the baby’s health, allowing parents to make informed decisions. By using the latest technology, our laboratories ensure accurate results, helping families navigate a healthy pregnancy journey.
