Placenta Safe™ Karyo Plus

Placenta Safe™ Karyo Plus is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) designed to detect aneuploidies of all chromosomes and identify certain changes in the copy number of genetic material fragments within chromosomes, i.e., large deletions and duplications (CNVs, copy number variants) greater than 7 Mb in size, and 9 syndromes associated with microdeletions: DiGeorge (22q11.2 del), Cri-du-chat (5p15.2 del), Angelman/Prader-Willi (15q11.2-q13.1 del), 1p36 deletions, Wolf-Hirschhorn (4p16.3 del), Jacobsen (11q23.3-q25 del), Langer-Giedion (8q24.11-q24.13 del), Smith-Magenis (17p11.2 del). It is also possible to determine the sex of the fetus (in the case of a twin pregnancy, it is possible to determine if at least one of the fetuses has a Y chromosome, i.e., is male). In the case of dichorionic twins, microdeletions and sex chromosome aneuploidies are not determined.

Recommendation for when to perform the test: Single and twin - from 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Sample: blood.

Completion time after reaching the laboratory: 5-8 business days.
