Cell-free DNA analyses were accurate in detecting fetal antigen status as early as 10 weeks’ gestation in women with alloimmunized pregnancies, according to results of a large, diverse U.S ...

Study finds that high levels of the fetal hormone GDF15 in mothers are linked to an increased risk of nausea, vomiting, and hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnancy, offering new insights into the ...

Our team of maternal-fetal medicine specialists and prenatal genetic counselors have extensive training and experience in prenatal genetic testing. Providers throughout the Mountain West regularly ...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive genetic test that can screen the blood of pregnant individuals to survey all genes from the fetal genome.

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), also known as prenatal-cell-free DNA-screening, allows a pregnant individual to receive a blood test that screens for very large changes in fetal chromosomes ...

A Roche blood test to screen fetuses for Down syndrome worked far better than standard prenatal screening tests in younger, low-risk women, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday, setting the stage ...

A blood test that can be done early in pregnancy is highly accurate at determining the sex of the fetus, however, a new study finds.

A test for abnormal fetal chromosomes can also detect maternal cancers—and physicians are struggling to incorporate that knowledge into routine care ...

Two medical societies have responded to a recent article on cell-free fetal DNA testing in low-risk women, with mixed recommendations for clinicians.

Lo, professor of chemical pathology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), had discovered that fetal DNA makes up about 5% of the cell-free DNA in maternal plasma. In contrast, fetal cells are ...
