Webinar: High Accuracy Screening for Twin Pregnancies by NIPT
As with singleton pregnancies, screening for aneuploidies non-invasively is very important for twins as well.
To address this priority MedGenome has recently launched Claria NIPT screening for twin/surrogate and egg donor pregnancies. In addition to aneuploidies, Claria NIPT can also detect the most common microdeletion syndrome, 22q11.2. Furthermore, zygosity can be determined accurately, thereby providing a reliable marker for triaging twin pregnancies for conditions such as growth restriction, twin to twin transfusion syndrome etc.
In this webinar we highlight the benefits of using Claria NIPT screening to accurately test for common chromosomal abnormalities, zygosity and individual fetal fractions for dizygotic twins. You will also learn about the importance of this information for better management of twin pregnancies.
18th January 2018, 5 pm to 6 pm.
Genetic Counselling: An Indispensable Step in Genetic Testing
Genetic Counselling is a professional approach to assess a patient’s or a couple’s genetic health, and the risk of passing on the disorder to the next generation. It takes into account their family, medical, and/or pregnancy history to advise them on the nature, outcomes, and probability of developing or transmitting the inherited disorders.
As the field of medicine becomes more complex through the growing use of genomic data, the need for genetic counselling is bound to increase. In the clinic post test genetic counselling can augment the role of the physician by helping patients interpret results and put them in the right context. Counselling helps to understand not only positive results, but also negative or ambiguous results, and to provide psychosocial support.

MedGenome Claria welcomes you to our exclusive webinar on "Antenatal screening for severe microdeletion syndromes by NIPT."
Non-Invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has altered the landscape of prenatal chromosomal screening with robust results compared to traditional protocols. Recently, NIPT has expanded its scope to include sub-chromosomal anomaly tests like the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, Angleman syndrome, Prader-Will, syndrome 1p36 and Cri-du-chat syndrome.
Join us on this webinar where we discuss a microdeletion clinical study as well as relevance of testing during prenatal period.
