Why To Have Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)?
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It reduces developmental delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and characteristic physical features. In Brazil, about 300,000 people are estimated to have this syndrome. Down syndrome cannot be prevented or treated. Pregnant mothers can assess their fetus’ risk of it through VANGENES Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) to provide a more complete plan for their child’s future.
For the health of your baby, choose to test.

VANGENES Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)
During pregnancy, the mother's blood will contain a small amount of fetal cell-free DNA. Non-invasive fetal chromosomal screening (NIPT) uses advanced technology to analyze the levels of these cell-free DNA to evaluate whether the fetus has Down syndrome or other diseases. The risk of chromosomal problems, including Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, sex chromosome-related disorders and post-microdeletion syndromes, is more accurate and comprehensive than traditional Down syndrome screening.
Features
Fast and Safe
Available earliest from 12 weeks of pregnancy. Report within 7 days.
Convenient and Non-invasive
Just need 10ml venous blood. Do NOT need amniocentesis.
Accurate
The detection rate for abnormal chromosomes is greater than 99.99%
When to have VANGENES Prenatal Fetal Chromosome Testing?
- Singleton Fetus: After reaching 10 weeks of pregnancy
- Twins or Reduction Fetus: After reaching 12 weeks of pregnancy
- Triplet Fetus: After reaching 14 weeks of pregnancy
- Artificially Inseminated Fetus: Suitable for fetuses conceived through artificial insemination.
VANGENES NIPT Test Plan

Applicable Groups For NIPT
All pregnant women can choose to have Vangenes NIPT if she wants to know the risk of Down Syndrome for her baby. In many countries, this test has become a routine test during pregnancy.
