• Fetal chromosomal sex information
• Large copy-number variation (CNV) screening for changes greater than 7 Mb
The catalogue lists trisomies 13, 18 and 21, rare autosomal aneuploidies, fetal chromosomal sex and large copy-number variations over 7 Mb.
The catalogue describes this particular comprehensive option for singleton pregnancies; ask the clinic about twin pregnancy options.
