Detecting fetal chromosomal defects without risk

A new benchtop semiconductor sequencing procedure and bioinformatics software tools can detect multiple types of chromosomal abnormalities with high sensitivity and specificity. The noninvasive method uses cell-free fetal DNA and is faster, cheaper, and safer than current procedures.

New prenatal test, chromosomal microarray, proposed as standard of care

A new genetic test using microarray analysis has been shown to detect clinically relevant information more effectively than the current standard method of prenatal testing. Microarray also identified additional abnormalities not detected by karyotyping in cases with advanced maternal age or positive screening results.
