NACE Non-invasive Prenatal Test

• It is a test that is performed on any pregnant woman to determine the number of chromosomes in the baby, without compromising the foetus or the mother.

Chromosomal normality involves having 23 pairs of chromosomes:

What is NACE test?

• NACE is a non-invasive prenatal test. This means that it is completely safe for you and your baby: a small blood sample, just like in any other routine blood analysis, is sufficient to perform the test.
• NACE uses the latest sequencing technology to analyse foetal DNA to detect the most common anomalies with high precision and reliability.

What does NACE detect?

• NACE® detects abnormalities in chromosomes 21, 18, 13 and the most common anomalies in the sex chromosomes (X and Y).
• NACE 24 analyses the full set of chromosomes at the resolution of a standard karyotype. It identifies deletions and duplications that are associated with clinically relevant genetic syndromes.

T21: Down Syndrome; T18: Edwards Syndrome; T13: Patau Syndrome; 45, X: Turner Syndrome
