WHAT IS
THE TRISOMY TEST?

Based on maternal blood, the TRISOMY test is a non-invasive screening test which can, thanks to its high sensitivity and specificity, exclude the presence of chromosomal abnormalities associated with chrmosomes 21, 18 and 13 and determine the sex of the fetus in early stages of pregnancy.

The TRISOMY test is designed to detect:

trisomy 21

(Down syndrome)

trisomy 18

(Edwards syndrome)

trisomy 13

(Patau syndrome)

if need be, the test can also determine

the sex of the fetus

Due to the sampling method used, it is commonly referred to as „NIPT“ – Non Invasive Prenatal Testing. The screening usesa sample of maternal blood taken as early as in the 11th week of pregnancy. The procedure is non-invasive and poses no risk to the fetus.

The TRISOMY test is performed in the Central Lab of Medirex, a. s., which is located in Bratislava. This makes it possible to deliver all results within 5 working days (depends on the country).
