Prenatal Testing Options for Trisomy 21, 18 and 13 are Evolving – What You Should Know ...
Sequenom Laboratories was the first to market a noninvasive prenatal LDT for trisomies for chromosomes 21, 18 and 13.
With the Enhanced Sequencing Series, the test will begin reporting on select, clinically relevant microdeletions, including 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DiGeorge), Cri-du-chat syndrome, Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome, 1p36 deletion syndrome, as well as two additional trisomies (Trisomy 16 and Trisomy 22).
The test is intended for use in pregnant women at increased risk for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies and can be used as early as 10 weeks' gestation. Estimates suggest there are about 750,000 pregnancies at high risk for fetal aneuploidy each year in the United States.
