PREGNANCY
Non Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT)
​
A revolutionary test allowing us to get a picture of the baby's health without performing risky invasive tests.
​
NIPT is done in the 11th week of pregnancy and requires only a blood sample from the mother.
​
It is a very accurate test (0.1% false negative rate)​ and the results are available in 3-5 working days
Pre-natal Whole Exome Seq. (trio)
​
A very innovative test, useful for cases with suspected malformation after a scan. It can help get a diagnosis in cases where SNP/CGH array is negative or when there is family history of known diseases.
​
It is performed at any point during the pregnancy on chorionic villus or amniotic fluids.
​
Genando's innovation is performing this test on free-DNA with maternal blood sample.
Clinical Exome sequencing
​
Used to search for the genetic causes of a complex phenotypical condition. Both before and after birth.
​
It requires an accurate description of the clinical history of the patient and family. The results reports the variants associated with the illness.
​
It is carried out on the patient and his / her parents from the 10th week of pregnancy. The results are available after 4 weeks.
SNP/CGH Array
​
This test is suitable for cases that have reported fetal anomalies during a scan.
​
It is performed on amniotic fluid or on chorionic villus from the 10th week of pregnancy. The results are available after 8 days.
Traditional karyotype on amniotic fluid, chorionic villus or abortive tissue
​
This first level exam is reccomended for cases of chromosomal anomaly.
​
It is performed from the 10th week of pregnancy. The results are available after 2-10 days, depending on the tissue being analysed.
SNP/CGH Array on abortive tissue
​
This test is recommended in case of a miscarriage or abortion. For which cases it is the test with the best diagnostic record.
​
Genando performs this test on un-cultured tissue, thus avoiding the issues with culturing cells for the test.
​
The results are available after 20 days.
Couple pre-conceptional test
​
Recommended to establish the genetic compatibility of the couple before conception.
​
Genando performs a personalised risk calculation that reports the variants responsible for congenital defects and their hereditary risk based on the couple's genetic characteristics.
​
The exam is performed with blood draw from both parents. The results area available after 4 weeks.
