Protect Your Baby’s Future with Cystic Fibrosis Prenatal Screening
As expectant parents in South Africa, the health of your unborn child is your highest priority. We understand the anxiety that can come with pregnancy, especially when considering genetic conditions. Our Cystic Fibrosis Prenatal Screening offers you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, detecting the most common CFTR-Del 508 mutation early in your pregnancy journey.
Understanding Cystic Fibrosis Prenatal Screening
Cystic Fibrosis is a serious genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestive system. Our prenatal screening specifically targets the CFTR-Del 508 mutation, which accounts for approximately 70% of cystic fibrosis cases worldwide. Using advanced Sanger Sequencing technology, we provide highly accurate results that help you understand your baby’s genetic health status.
The test is performed on samples including amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, or cord blood, collected by your healthcare provider. This non-invasive approach ensures both your safety and your baby’s wellbeing throughout the testing process.
Who Should Consider This Important Screening?
This prenatal screening is particularly important for:
- Couples with family history of cystic fibrosis
- Parents who are known carriers of CFTR mutations
- Families planning comprehensive prenatal care
- Couples seeking peace of mind about their baby’s genetic health
- Parents concerned about inherited genetic conditions
Early detection allows for better preparation and access to specialized care if needed, giving your child the best possible start in life.
