Description
Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genomic disorder of intellectual disability and is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21. DS is characterised by delayed development, different, dysmorphic features and mild to moderate range of intellectual disability. The average IQ of a young adult with DS is equivalent to the mental ability of an eight- or nine-year-old child, though there is some wide variation. Prenatal Testing for DS is indicated for women who are at least 10 weeks pregnant and look for foetal chromosomal abnormalities. The NIPD Zplus non-invasive prenatal foetal chromosome abnormality test is a non-invasive foetal chromosome aneuploidy detection technique for DS. For enquiry on prenatal check-up fees and DS screening fees, please contact re:HEALTH.

NIPD Zplus Test
The NIPD Zplus Non-Invasive Foetal DNA Test is a non-invasive foetal chromosome aneuploidy detection technique for Down's syndrome. The NIPD Zplus test collects only 10 ml of maternal peripheral blood to extract cell-free foetal DNA from the foetus. It combines sequencing technology with bioinformatic analysis in determining the risk of chromosomal aneuploidy (e.g. Down's syndrome) in the foetus.
