Panorama Basic Natera Prenatal Screening in Dubai – Accurate Non-Invasive Genetic Testing

Expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in life, and ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and baby is paramount. The Panorama Basic Natera Prenatal Screening is an advanced and non-invasive genetic test designed to assess the risk of certain genetic conditions early in pregnancy. It provides expectant mothers with vital information about their baby's health in a safe, reliable, and accurate manner.

At our clinic in Dubai, we are proud to offer the Panorama Basic Natera Prenatal Screening, one of the leading prenatal genetic tests available today. Using state-of-the-art technology, the Panorama test examines the fetal DNA found in the mother’s blood to assess the likelihood of various chromosomal conditions, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), trisomy 18, and trisomy 13. This test can be done as early as 9 weeks of pregnancy, providing expectant parents with peace of mind.

How Does Panorama Basic Natera Prenatal Screening Work?

The Panorama Basic Natera Prenatal Screening test works by analyzing cell-free fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s blood. This fetal DNA is collected through a simple blood draw from the mother, typically in the first trimester of pregnancy (after 9 weeks). The blood sample is then processed in a laboratory where it is analyzed for any signs of genetic conditions.

Panorama Basic can screen for several genetic conditions by examining the number of chromosomes present in the fetal DNA. This test is highly accurate and can help identify conditions before any physical symptoms are present in the pregnancy. With this information, you and your healthcare provider can make informed decisions about further testing or medical care.

What Genetic Conditions Does Panorama Basic Screen For?

• Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome): A genetic disorder caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, which can lead to intellectual disabilities and other health concerns.

• Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome): A condition caused by an extra chromosome 18 that can lead to severe developmental delays and organ issues.

• Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome): A genetic disorder caused by an extra chromosome 13, which often leads to life-threatening complications.

• Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies: Conditions related to the number of sex chromosomes (X and Y), which can affect the development of sexual characteristics, fertility, and general health.

• Microdeletions: Smaller genetic deletions that can cause conditions such as DiGeorge syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome, which impact various aspects of health and development.
