Assisted Conception Genetic Testing GeneSyte™ NIPT prenatal testing

GeneSyte™ prenatal genetic testing

Genea’s GeneSyte™ prenatal genetic testing is a blood test that a pregnant woman can undertake in the first trimester of pregnancy, to look for chromosome errors that her baby may have. The most common known chromosome error is Down syndrome (Trisomy 21). For such an important test, you’ll want to have the best. It’s therefore important to know that GeneSyte™:

  • has the lowest “failure to report” rate of any pre-natal tests on the market
  • results are provided 99.9% of the time^
  • we don’t just provide risk scores (like some tests do), we give a result – in other words, we give you an answer.

The reassurance of knowing with GeneSyte™

Our exclusive screening test provides definitive answers on a wider range of chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy.

How does GeneSyte™ work?

During a woman’s pregnancy, some of the baby’s DNA crosses the placenta into the mother’s bloodstream. GeneSyte™ is a prenatal test that involves taking a blood sample from the mother and testing for the baby’s DNA. Scientists look for changes in chromosome numbers, checking for conditions which are caused by extra or missing chromosomes. At Genea, we can test all chromosomes but some of the most commonly known diseases we test for are Down, Edwards and Patau syndromes. GeneSyte™ can also report on the sex of a baby.

What is the difference between GeneSyte™ and other tests on the market?

There are other products on the market that sound very similar but quite simply, they are not. The most important thing a patient wants to know is that if she has her blood collected, she will have a result. Some competitors have a 'failure to report' result 3-5% of the time. However, 99.9% of the time^ we provide a result. 

More about GeneSyte™

GeneSyte™ can be conducted anytime from 10 weeks gestation. However, this test works well in combination with a 12 week ultrasound. The 12 week ultrasound looks for the healthy growth of a baby, GeneSyte™ is looking for the chromosome health of the baby which is just as important. All blood samples are tested at our Genea laboratory and we have one of the fastest reporting times.

Any doctor may order GeneSyte™. GPs, obstetricians and clinicians at ultrasound units often do. Any referral is accepted, even if a doctor doesn’t have our specific request/referral form.

At Genea Hollywood, we also offer free genetic counselling to all our patients if required. Our counsellors are highly qualified, specifically in genetics and pregnancy. For GeneSyte™ costs please contact our Fertility Advisor.

Genea shares patient stories to help people experiencing infertility to understand that they are not alone. Hearing about other people experiencing the same challenges is a powerful way to break the isolation and stigma that often surrounds infertility. We share these stories with the intent to inform, educate and comfort and have no intention to create unreasonable expectations of beneficial treatment. Similarly, we have no intention for our community to believe the stories told are the outcomes that would be achieved for every patient. Read more about our policy on sharing personal stories.
