Screening with cell free fetal DNA can detect 99.9% of Down Syndrome cases prenatal. It can be performed on a blood sample of the mother, from 10 weeks’ gestation onwards. If you are interested in this, we can assist you as well. We are also able to refer patients that are interested in genetic counselling for a session in our practice with a registered genetic counsellor. Please feel free to visit Triscreen or Invitae should you have more questions.
If you are still unsure and would like to understand non-invasive prenatal testing better, feel free to watch this video.
