NIFTY MONO – Genetic test of congenital diseases

Advances in molecular diagnosis have helped in detecting many more rare diseases at a lower cost than ever before. Families that have a history of genetic diseases or if on ultrasound screening detects de novo abnormalities, prenatal diagnostic tools enable them access to information that is necessary for the correct choice of prenatal and postnatal care.

We are very pleased to present the Nifty Mono, a new and unique non-invasive prenatal screening test of single genes for severe congenital diseases and mental health disorders.

Nifty Mono detects 202 clinically significant and critical genetic conditions that until now have not been possible to be detected with classical NIPT technology. Through targeted testing of 155 genes, we now have a complete picture of potential risks after pregnancy and fetal health.

Why Nifty Mono?

- Ultrasound findings are not always conclusive

- Family history is usually not a good indicator of the probability, because these hereditary conditions are caused by new, so-called "de novo," genetic changes (mutations)

- The total frequency rate for these conditions is 1 in every 1,500 – 10,000 children

- The conditions detected by this screening in 74% of the cases are related to the advanced age of the fathers (over 35 years old)

- Only 5% of these diseases can be effectively treated

Screening for diseases inherited through single genes is EQUALLY IMPORTANT for the prevention and control of congenital anomalies such as Down's syndrome.

- Diseases that are inherited through single genes appear as a consequence of ONLY ONE defective gene.

- So far, more than 9,000 such diseases have been described worldwide the world.

- Most of them cause defects, disability or death to the fetus. Nifty Mono may provide important information if:

- The father is older than 35 years

- There are ultrasound anomalies, for example shortening of the long bones and increased nuchal translucency, which associate to monogenetic diseases

- You want to avoid invasive diagnostic procedures (amniocentesis, chorionic villus biopsy)

- You have an inherited risk for genetic conditions that need to be examined

- You want to know absolutely everything

 The list of examinations includes organic and mental disorders such as:

- Osteogenesis imperfecta

- Achondroplasia

- Tuberous sclerosis

- Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

- Intellectual developmental disorder with autism and macrocephaly

Nifty Mono provides a comprehensive safe solution, giving accurate results in 3 weeks. It is safe, reliable and requires only one tube of maternal blood. Recommended by experts such as the Royal College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians, this test is available from the 10th week of the pregnancy and detects genetic abnormalities which often can not be detected by ultrasound.
