X and Y analysis provide >99% accuracy for fetal sex. The test identifies in singleton pregnancies more than 99% of fetuses with trisomy 21, 98% of fetuses with trisomy 18, and 80% of fetuses with Turner Syndrome. Please note refunds for the Harmony Non-Invasive prenatal test will be minus a scan fee of €100Īll of these are explained in our FAQs sectionĬlinical studies have shown that the Ariosa Harmony™ Prenatal Test has exceptional accuracy for assessing fetal trisomy risk.Ī “high risk” result is indicative of high risk for a trisomy. Should this happen three times, you will then be offered a refund. If the laboratory fails to obtain a result from the initial test, you will be asked to return for a redraw. The test looks to detect the following trisomies: Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) and Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) and Sex Chromosome Conditions. This occurs when there are three copies of a particular chromosome instead of the expected two.

Cell free DNA (cfDNA) results from the natural breakdown of fetal cells (presumed to be mostly placental) and clears from the maternal system within hours of giving birth.ĭuring a pregnancy, cfDNA can be tested to give the most accurate screening approach in estimating the risk of fetus having a common chromosome condition sometimes called a trisomy. The quality is determined by the presence of 10 DNA fragments on 10 different chromosomes.Īfter WGA single cell STR analysis or DNA copy number variation analysis is performed to detect chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders.DNA from the fetus circulates in the mother’s blood. The quality of the WGA product is determined using V圜AP’s WGA control mix. V圜AP has validated protocols based on AMPLI-1 and REPLI-G whole genome amplification (WGA). Our workfow to isolate fetal cells is compatible with most commercial sequence technologies. Furthermore the PCR tube location (A0, A1, A2,…) and an image of the microwell bottom before and after punching. It shows the microwell ID (number), and several images of the cell in different fluorescent channels.
Each horizontal row belongs to a single fetal cell.

The Puncher software screenshot below displays punched trophoblast. Isolate single trophoblasts with the Puncher systemĪfter the trophobalsts are identified these are isolated and transferred to a PCR plate or PCR tube using the Puncher system. Currently our workflow is based on Rosettesep enrichment. The enriched cells are labelled with the fluorescent labels, DAPI, CK-PE and CD45-APC, to indentify the trophoblast cells. This low frequency of appaerance requires to pre-enrich the trophoblasts cells.
CNV analysis of fetal cellsĪ tube of maternal blood of 10ml contains around 10-15 fetal cells. Single fetal throphoblast cells can be genetically analysed for example copy variation analysis (CNV). With the V圜AP work flow a cell based NIPT becomes reality. Prenatal detection of chromosome abnormalities has been offered for more than 40 years, first by amniocentesis in the early 1970s and additionally by chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in the early 1980s. V圜AP offers a solution to isolate fetal trophoblast cells from maternal blood for genetic analysis. The ability to isolate fetal cells and fetal DNA from maternal blood during pregnancy has opened up exciting opportunities for improved noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
