3 deliverables in this treatment
- Venous blood draw at G-CENTRUM Olomouc
- SPADIA laboratory NGS analysis for selected chromosomal conditions
- Results report and consultation with G-CENTRUM perinatologist
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) at G-CENTRUM Olomouc analyses cell-free fetal DNA circulating in the mother's blood to screen for chromosomal conditions with 99% accuracy — far exceeding the 85–90% detection rate of standard combined screening. The clinic uses the TRISOMY test platform via SPADIA laboratory. A single blood draw from week 11 of pregnancy is all that is required; results are returned without any risk to the fetus (unlike amniocentesis or CVS). Four tiers of the test are available depending on how many conditions need to be screened.
About this treatment
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) analyses fragments of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) that circulate in the maternal bloodstream from as early as 7–10 weeks of gestation. From approximately week 11, the fetal fraction is high enough for reliable analysis. G-CENTRUM Olomouc offers NIPT via the TRISOMY test platform run by SPADIA laboratory — a well-established Czech prenatal diagnostic laboratory.
The test requires a single venous blood draw at the clinic. The sample is sent to SPADIA for next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, which counts chromosomal fragments and identifies over- or under-representation indicating aneuploidy. Results are reported with >99% sensitivity and specificity for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), and Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) — the three most common chromosomal conditions detectable in the…

Panel categories
Biomarkers tested
5Indicates immunity against HBV due to vaccination or previous infection.
Detects antibodies to hepatitis C virus, indicating current or past infection. A positive result requires confirmatory RNA testing. Hepatitis C is now curable with direct-acting antiviral medications in most patients.
Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.
