Maternal Serum Screen 2 Advanced Reflex to Fetal DNA Chromosome 21 Test

Your Peace of Mind Starts Here: Advanced Prenatal Screening for South African Mothers

We understand that pregnancy brings both joy and natural concerns about your baby’s health. That’s why we’ve developed this comprehensive screening approach that combines traditional wisdom with cutting-edge technology. Our Maternal Serum Screen 2 Advanced Reflex test is designed specifically to give you the confidence and clarity you deserve during this precious time.

Understanding Your Advanced Prenatal Screening

This innovative two-step screening process begins with a simple blood test that measures specific pregnancy hormones (PAPP-A and Free Beta HCG) in your bloodstream. If initial results indicate increased risk, the test automatically progresses to the advanced Maternal Blood for Fetal DNA (MBFD) analysis for Chromosome 21 – the most accurate non-invasive method available for detecting Down syndrome.

Think of it as having both a safety net and a high-precision detection system working together to protect your baby’s health. The initial screening acts as your first alert system, while the advanced DNA analysis provides definitive clarity when needed.

Who Should Consider This Important Screening?

This test is recommended for all pregnant women between 10-13 weeks gestation, but is particularly important if you:

• Are 35 years or older
• Have a family history of chromosomal conditions
• Had abnormal ultrasound findings
• Are pregnant through IVF treatment
• Have diabetes or are a smoker
• Had a previous pregnancy with Trisomy 21
• Simply want the most comprehensive screening available

Why This Matters for Your Baby’s Health Journey

Early detection through advanced screening provides invaluable benefits that extend far beyond test results:

• Peace of Mind: Knowing you’ve taken the most comprehensive screening approach available
• Early Preparation: Time to consult specialists and make informed decisions if needed
• Reduced Anxiety: Clear, accurate results replace uncertainty and worry
• Family Planning: Information to prepare your family and support system
• Medical Readiness: Early identification allows for specialised care planning

Understanding Your Results with Confidence

We know waiting for results can be stressful, which is why we provide clear, compassionate guidance every step of the way. Your results will clearly indicate whether your baby has a low or increased risk for chromosomal conditions. Remember – most screenings show low risk, providing immediate reassurance. For the few cases that show increased risk, our reflex system automatically provides the advanced DNA confirmation you need.

Our genetic counsellors and healthcare professionals are available to help you understand your results and discuss next steps in a supportive, confidential environment.
