Clinic Sofia offers genetic screening to detect the risk for chromosomal abnormalities that could impact the health of your baby.
Cell Free Fetal DNA (cffDNDA)
You can discover the fetal sex with this testing if you choose! The earliest and most accurate of the genetic screening options, non-invasive DNA-based blood testing can be does as early week 10.
Carrier Screening
Some people “carry” genes associated with conditions that can impact the health of the baby. These are recessive traits, meaning you won’t necessarily know of a family history. These conditions include:
- Cystic fibrosis
- Anemia and sickle cell disease
- Tay-Sachs
- Canavan disease
- Spinal muscular atrophy
- Fragile X
- Jewish Carrier Screening Panel
First trimester screening vs quad screening
For those who opt against cell free fetal DNA, these tests check specific hormonal levels to sort out a personal risk profile.
