Development of Non-invasive Prenatal Diagnostic Test for Multiple Gestation Pregnancies Based on Fetal DNA Isolated From Maternal Blood
The objectives of the clinical study are to demonstrate the accuracy of our new NATUS
diagnostic method to determine the genetic health of the developing fetuses in a multiple
gestation pregnancy from a maternal blood sample. The long term goal of this study will be
the development of a method of minimally invasive prenatal diagnosis that has a higher
sensitivity and lower false positive rate in the intended population (e.g. multiple
gestation pregnancies) than any currently available screening tests. This will result in
fewer unnecessary amniocenteses and CVS procedures, which are associated with a risk of
miscarriage.
