Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the IONA® test which is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) for Down's syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities in twin pregnancies, from a maternal blood sample.
In January 2007, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) revised its guidelines that now recommend physicians are ethically obligated to fully inform all pregnant women that screening for fetal chromosomal abnormalities including biochemical screening tests and invasive procedures such as CVS or amniocentesis is available, regardless of age. Further, it is entirely up to the patient to decide whether or not she wishes to be screened for fetal chromosomal abnormalities without judgment from the physician. Noninvasive laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) that detect an abnormal amount of maternal and fetal DNA in an expectant mother's blood sample (known as circulating cell-free DNA) are now available. These LDTs have not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although LDTs to date have not been subject to U.S. FDA regulation, certification of the laboratory is required under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) to ensure the quality and validity of the test. To sample collection study will obtain whole blood specimens from pregnant subjects to be used for development of prenatal assays to assist in the screening for fetal genetic abnormalities, infectious and other diseases, and blood group typing through detection of circulating cell-free DNA extracted from maternal plasma.
To obtain whole blood specimens from pregnant subjects to be used for research and development and clinical validation studies of prenatal assays.
This study will evaluate the clinical performance of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) using the MaterniT21 PLUS LDT in the detection of fetal aneuploidy in circulating cfDNA extracted from a maternal blood sample obtained from women pregnant with a multiple gestation who were at increased risk for fetal aneuploidy.
This is a prospective, multi‐center observational study designed to compare the test results of the Verinata Health Prenatal Aneuploidy Test to results of conventional prenatal screening for fetal chromosome abnormalities in 'all-risk' pregnancies.
