What can NACE and NA
- NACE detects the three most common chromosomal abnormalities: Trisomy 21, 18 and 13 (Down, Edwards, and Patau syndromes respectively). It also identifies potential problems in sexual chromosomes (45, X; 47, XXY; 47, YYX; 47, XXX)
- NACE Extended 24 has the same characteristics as the NACE test, but is an extended version that also incorporates the analysis of all 24 chromosomes and identifies six microdeletions which are associated with major genetic syndromes: DiGeorge syndrome, 1p36 deletion syndrome, Angelman syndrome**, Prader-Willi syndrome**, Cri-du-chat syndrome, and Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome
According to the World Health Organization
- The estimated incidence of Down Syndrome is between 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 1,100 live births worldwide
- 60 to 80 percent of children with Down Syndrome have hearing deficits
- 40 to 45 percent of children with Down Syndrome have congenital heart disease
Why a non-invasive prenatal test?
- Non-Invasive tests can prevent the need for about 98% of invasive tests in patients at risk for T21.
- NACE and NACE Extended 24 have a higher accuracy rate than 1st trimester biochemical marker screening techniques such as triple marker + double marker screening, and ultrasound scan.
Who is it suitable for?
- It is especially recommended for women with an abnormal screening result in their first trimester, with previous pregnancies with Down syndrome, or those who have a suspicious finding in their ultrasounds
- NACE Extended is only valid for single pregnancies.
- It can be performed for cases of in vitro fertilization
- For women of any age, regardless of body mass index or ethnicity
The test can be performed as early as the 10th week of your pregnancy or 12th week (in case of twins).
What type of results will I get?
The report will tell you if one of the chromosomal alterations analyzed has been detected or not. In the case that one is detected an invasive test (amniocentesis or a chorionic villus biopsy) will be required to confirm the finding. Your doctor will tell you about these tests.
Why NACE / NACE Extended 24?
- Non-invasive
- Analyzes the most frequent chromosomal alterations with a simple blood extraction
- Results in 7 days
- Avoids delays in the delivery time for the results: 7 working days
- No Risk
- An alternative test to amniocentesis completely safe for you and your baby
- Test analyzed by NGS
- The most complete test
NACE test also reveals information about the baby's gender
NACE avoids delays in the delivery time of the results. The number of cases in which a second blood sample is required is less than 0.1%.
