Clinical Information

The MaterniT21 PLUS test analyzes circulating cell-free DNA extracted from a maternal blood sample. The test is indicated for use in pregnant women with increased risk for chromosomal aneuploidy. Validation data on twin pregnancies is limited and the ability of this test to detect aneuploidy in a triplet pregnancy has not yet been validated.

 

DNA test results do not provide a definitive genetic risk in all individuals. Cell-free DNA does not replace the accuracy and precision of prenatal diagnosis with CVS or amniocentesis. These tests are not intended to identify pregnancies at risk for neural tube defects or ventral wall defects.

 

A patient with a positive test result should be referred for genetic counseling and offered invasive prenatal diagnosis for confirmation of test results. A negative test result does not ensure an unaffected pregnancy. While results of this testing are highly accurate, not all chromosomal abnormalities may be detected due to placental, maternal or fetal mosaicism, or other causes. The health care provider is responsible for the use of this information in the management of their patient.
