Prenatal diagnostics

Prenatal diagnostics includes various examinations during pregnancy to assess the risk of congenital health disorders or to clarify abnormalities in the unborn child. It also enables the early detection of impending pregnancy complications.

Expectant parents want to do everything right and are quickly confronted with a multitude of possible examinations. But is everything that is possible also useful? The decision for or against certain tests is therefore individual.

Our wide range of prenatal testing methods helps to monitor the course of pregnancy and can provide clarity as to whether the unborn child is affected by a genetic disease, if there is an increased familial risk for a hereditary disease, or if other tests reveal indications of a genetic disease. This enables the best possible care for mother and child. In cooperation with classical laboratory diagnostics, we offer the following examinations:

• First trimester screening
• Non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT)
• Chromosome analysis and FISH
• Array-CGH
• Molecular genetic analyses (depending on indication)

We are happy to advise parents-to-be and the attending physicians on individual risks as well as the possibilities and limits of prenatal diagnostics.

Based on our many years of expert knowledge and comprehensive range of analyses, we guarantee holistic diagnostics in the field of prenatal diagnostics. We also offer highly qualified and personal genetic counseling at short notice to provide the best possible support to those seeking advice on the path to diagnosis.
