Chromosomal Screening
The latest in chromosomal screening technology
All pregnant women, whatever their age, carry a risk of delivering a baby with a chromosomal problem; the risk increases as the age of the mother increases. These syndromes are chromosomal abnormalities caused by the presence of an extra chromosome within the cells of the baby.
We are able to calculate the risk from as early as 10 weeks into pregnancy not only for Down’s Syndrome (T21) but also for Edward’s (T18) and Patau (T13) syndromes. In addition, we can calculate the risk for other rare abnormalities including Triploidy, Turner’s and many other syndromes. Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal abnormality followed by Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13, Triplody and Turner’s syndrome.
With the new technology we can now screen for micro deletions and duplications.
