Description
Harmony prenatal test to screen for chromosomal abnormalities
During pregnancy, as part of pregnant care, the gynaecologist recommends performing various screening tests to assess the health status of the unborn child. As part of this, the specialist also offers the possibility of screening for rare chromosomal abnormalities (Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome) that affect both the physical and mental development of the foetus.
Why is screening for Down syndrome recommended?
Some genetic disorders are inherited within the family, while others, such as Down syndrome, are typically non-hereditary diseases. It can occur in any pregnancy.
Although the risk of developing Down’s disease increases with age, the majority of children with Down syndrome are born to women under the age of 35.
What can I learn with the help of the Harmony test?
A genetic test for foetal DNA from maternal blood can be performed on a pregnant woman of any age or at risk. The test results are more accurate and the rate of false-positive results is extremely low compared to common tests. In negative cases, no further testing (genetic testing from amniotic fluid) is required.
The prenatal genetic test available from Medicover shows 3 non-hereditary chromosomal abnormalities affecting the baby’s intellectual and physical development, which can also be tested in case of twin pregnancies:
- Down syndrome (chromosome 21 trisomy)
- Edwards syndrome (chromosome 18 trisomy)
- Patau syndrome (chromosome 13 trisomy)
How do I prepare for the test?
Having an empty stomach is not required for the Harmony Prenatal test.
When is the result expected?
On the 9th working day following the examination.
