FetalDNA:
NEXT-GENERATION
PRENATAL TEST

A cutting-edge technology
that overcomes all the previous NIPTs

Explore FetalDNA Test

An innovative, reliable and safe, 100% made in Italy.
For a peaceful pregnancy.

FetalDNA is a Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT) that allows to perform a complete genetic screening thanks to the circulating fetal DNA (= fragments of fetal DNA circulating in the maternal blood).

With a simple blood sample from the pregnant woman, the Medical Genetics Laboratory of the Altamedica Healthcare Center in Rome can detect chromosomal abnormalities, microdeletions / microduplications and any other genetic diseases in the fetus as well as in the mother.

The FetalDNA can be performed starting from the 10th week, for every kind of pregnancy (natural and obtained with assisted fertilization techniques).

FETALDNA SCREENING LEVELS

The fetal fetaldna day test before the investigation levels,
with an increasing degree of approval:

FetalDNA

BASE

It analyzes the most frequent trisomies with extreme precision:
21 (Down syndrome)
18 (Edwards syndrome)
13 (Patau syndrome)
Gender of the child upon request

FetalDNA

BASE PLUS

It integrates the BASE level (21, 18, 13) with investigation on abnormalities in the sex chromosomes X, Y (Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, etc.).

Gender of the child upon request

FetalDNA

BASE PLUS + 90 MICRODELETIONS

It adds 90 microdeletion / microduplication syndromes to BASE PLUS level (21, 18, 13, X, Y)

Gender of the child upon request

FetalDNA

KARYOTYPE

It analyzes numerical alterations on all the 23 pairs of chromosomes of the fetus (including 13, 18, 21 and sex chromosomes X and Y).

Gender of the child upon request.

FetalDNA

KARYOTYPE PLUS

It integrates the previous level (fetal chromosomes aneuploidies), with the investigation on 90 chromosomal alterations from structural rearrangements (microduplications / microdeletions) as well as for the mutations related to Maternal Cystic Fibrosis.

Gender of the child upon request.

FetalDNA

KARYOTYPE PLUS + MONOGENIC DISEASES

It adds the investigation on fetal monogenic diseases (caused by mutations of a single gene) such as beta thalassemia, congenital deafness, achondroplasia, fetal cystic fibrosis, etc., to the previous level (fetal karyotype, microdeletion / microduplication syndromes, maternal cystic fibrosis).

Gender of the child upon request.

FetalDNA

TOTALSCREEN

It combines fetus and mother analysis for a peaceful pregnancy, adding further investigations to the previous level: risk of preterm birth, Maternal Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Hereditary Maternal Thrombophilia, risk of preeclampsia and infectious disease (cytomegalovirus and toxoplasmosis).

Gender of the child upon request.

FetalDNA

MONOGENIC DISEASES

It explores the most important fetal monogenic diseases* (beta thalassemia, congenital deafness, achondroplasia, fetal cystic fibrosis, hemochromatosis, phenylketonuria, etc.)

* It can be performed as a single request or in combination with the previous levels.

Why choose FetalDNA Test

SAFE

It is not traumatic for the mother nor the fetus and is completely free of abortion risks.

SIMPLE

A blood sample from mother’s arm is enough for the analysis of circulating fetal DNA.

FAST

Results are available within 5 working days (8 for the Total Screen) starting from the arrival of the sample at the Molecular Genetics laboratory.

ACCURATE

High sensitivity and reliability of the test (99.9% for the main aneuploidies).

STATE-OF-THE-ART

FetalDNA is developed by Altamedica specialists and it is analyzed completely in Italy with a patented technology.

EASY TO UNDERSTAND

NEGATIVE: no anomalies
POSITIVE: specific anomalies are indicated in the report
