NIPT Microdeletion Test: Advanced Peace of Mind for Your Pregnancy Journey
As expectant parents in South Africa, you deserve the most comprehensive prenatal screening available. The NIPT Microdeletion Test goes beyond standard screening to detect subtle chromosomal changes that could impact your baby’s health and development. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the mix of excitement and concern that comes with pregnancy, which is why we’ve made this advanced testing accessible and affordable across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria.
Understanding NIPT Microdeletion Testing
NIPT Microdeletion testing represents the next generation of prenatal screening. While standard NIPT focuses on common chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome, our microdeletion test detects smaller, more subtle genetic changes that can cause significant developmental challenges. These microdeletions involve missing pieces of chromosomes that are too small to be seen under a microscope but can have profound effects on your child’s health.
Using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse cell-free DNA from your bloodstream with remarkable 99% accuracy. This non-invasive approach means no risk to your pregnancy – just a simple blood draw that provides comprehensive genetic insights.
Who Should Consider NIPT Microdeletion Testing?
This advanced screening is particularly valuable for:
- Parents seeking the most comprehensive prenatal screening available
- Couples with family histories of genetic conditions
- Women over 35 considering their pregnancy options
- Parents who want maximum preparation time for any special needs
- Those who’ve received concerning ultrasound results
- Couples undergoing fertility treatments
Many South African parents choose this test for the additional peace of mind it provides, knowing they’ve explored every available screening option.
