At Grosvenor Gardens Healthcare, located in the heart of London, we offer the Illumina Test, a state-of-the-art non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPT). This advanced test provides expectant parents with critical insights into the genetic health of their unborn child, including assessing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down’s Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome, and Patau Syndrome.
What is the Illumina Test?
The Illumina Test, conducted through a simple blood draw from the expectant mother as early as the 10th week of pregnancy, is renowned for its high accuracy and reliability. It significantly reduces the likelihood of false positives and eliminates the risks associated with invasive prenatal testing methods.
Advantages of the Illumina Test:
- Non-Invasive and Safe: A simple blood test with no risk to the developing baby.
- Highly Accurate: Over 99% detection rate for Down’s Syndrome.
- Quick Results: Results typically available in less than seven working days.
