NIFTY® Pro
by Ginekalikslab
NIFTY® Pro is the ultimate non-invasive prenatal test that offers expectant parents comprehensive insight into their baby's health. Using advanced fetal DNA genetic sequencing technology, NIFTY® Pro screens for 94 genetic conditions, including Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) and sex chromosome aneuploidies, with extended screening for rare autosomal aneuploidies and microdeletion and microduplication syndromes.

Overview of NIFTY® Pro
The NIFTY® Pro test is an advanced non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) developed by BGI Genomics. It is part of the broader NIFTY® (Non-Invasive Fetal TrisomY) series of tests, which are widely used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy. The NIFTY® Pro test is particularly known for its comprehensive screening capabilities, offering insights into a range of chromosomal conditions with a high degree of accuracy. NIFTY® Pro offers a more extensive screening panel compared to the standard NIFTY® test. It covers 94 chromosomal conditions, including rare trisomies, fetal sex aneuploidies and microdeletions. The test uses advanced sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis to provide highly accurate results, with sensitivity and specificity rates typically above 99% for common trisomies. It is a valuable tool in prenatal screening, offering a comprehensive analysis of the fetus's chromosomal health. Its advanced technology and wide coverage make it an excellent option for expectant parents looking for detailed information about their pregnancy.

How NIFTY® test works?
During pregnancy, fetal DNA enters into maternal bloodstream. Next-generation technology makes it possible to analyze free fetal DNA segments that are present in maternal blood in order to identify chromosomal abnormalities. NIFTY® test requires only 10 ml maternal blood sample and blood collection can be performed during the 10th pregnancy week.

NIFTY® Pro Workflow
-
Pre-Test Counseling: Call our laboratory to consult with our geneticists free of charge and find all the answers to your questions so you can choose the best option for your baby.
-
Order your prenatal test kit: Start by ordering our specialized prenatal test kit from our website. This is supported by a global leader in the logistics industry. Designed for expectant mothers, this kit includes everything needed to safely and easily collect a blood sample.
-
Visit a local laboratory for sample collection: Take the test kit to any local laboratory. A trained healthcare professional will help you gently collect a small 10ml blood sample. This process is non-invasive and 100% safe for yourself and your baby. It is quick and designed to ensure both your test convenience and confidentiality.
-
Send us a blood sample: Once your blood sample is collected, place it securely in the box provided and use the pre-addressed, postage-paid packaging to send it back to our laboratory.
-
Laboratory Analysis: Our sophisticated laboratory will analyze your sample for a comprehensive prenatal diagnosis. The fetal DNA is being isolated from the mother's blood and is being tested with the advanced NGS technology (CNV > 3 Mb) across the whole genome with a 99% accuracy.
-
Reporting and interpretation: We will inform you on the phone and provide you via email with a detailed report that offers information for more than 94 genetic abnormalities (Trisomy 21, 18, 13, 16, 22, 9, sex chromosomal aneuploidies: XO, XXX, XXY, XYY, 84 deletions and duplications + incidental findings) related to your baby's health and development. You will receive these results in 7 – 10 days quickly and safely, while having the chance to discuss the results with our specialized team and geneticists. They will help you understand your results and make sure you receive all the information, any time, 24/7 at your disposal.
