Constance, Germany – PraenaTest®, Europe‘s first non-invasive molecular genetic prenatal diagnostic test (NIPT) to determine fetal chromosome disorders from maternal blood, now comprises two additional test options. One new option allows physicians to add the determination of fetal gonosomal aneuploidy for singleton pregnancies, such as Turner, Triple X, Klinefelter and XYY syndrome, to the standard analysis of fetal trisomies 21, 18 and 13. The second new option exclusively determines trisomy 21 in the unborn child. Therefore, depending on the medical issue, physicians and their patients can now select from a total range of three PraenaTest® options for singleton and multiple pregnancies with an average waiting time for the test results of eight working days or even four working days, if express service is selected.

Konstanz, Deutschland – In einer aktuellen Studie des Universitätsklinikums in Basel zeigte sich innerhalb der ersten neun Monate nach Einführung des PraenaTest® in der Schweiz ein Rückgang der invasiven Untersuchungen von nahezu 70%. Dieses Ergebnis belegt den hohen klinischen Nutzen des PraenaTest® als Europas erstem nicht-invasiven, molekulargenetischen Pränataldiagnostiktest zur Bestimmung der fetalen Trisomien 21, 18 und 13 aus mütterlichem Blut. Insgesamt wurden 951 Frauen mit Risikoschwangerschaft nach auffälligen Ersttrimesterscreening in die unabhängige retrospektive Studie eingeschlossen.
