PANORAMA by NATERA
 
This form of NIPS uses a different gene sequencing technology to NIPT by TDL and as a result there is a greater range of prenatal conditions which can be screened for. The introduction of this test into Scotland would offer an increased portfolio of NIPS that would be advantageous to certain patient groups.
​
Panorama is a non-invasive DNA screening test that can tell you important information about your pregnancy, as early as nine weeks of gestation. With Panorama, you can find out about the likelihood of your baby having a chromosomal condition, such as Down syndrome, with a simple blood test. If you so choose, you may also find out the gender of your baby.

 

The basic Panorama test will now include screening for 22q deletion. More detailed information regarding 22q can be found here
