About the test
what is NICE® prenatal test?
NICE® is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) that detects fetal DNA in maternal plasma during pregnancy through Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). It can be tested from the 10th week of pregnancy and evaluates fetal chromosomal abnormalities. NICE® screens for common trisomy (such as 21, 18, 13), sex chromosome aneuploidies and analyzes eight clinically important microdeletion regions.

How it works
how is the NICE® performed
NICE® looks at isolated fetal cfDNA present in maternal blood, collected after 10 weeks of pregnancy from massively parallel WGS. Sequencing data is analyzed by applying the bioinformatics pipeline.
