#凱莉懷孕日記 - Phalanx Biotech Group NIPT3.0

Previously, my dad accompanied me to get genetic testing, and even he was amazed that almost all modern parents have children scientifically. Considering I'm not of advanced maternal age and was apprehensive about amniocentesis, I discovered Phalanx Biotech's NIPT non-invasive prenatal fetal chromosome screening. I went for the 3.0 test, which is the highest level and most comprehensive test available, priced at 38,000 TWD, covering a total of 133 items.

In its 20th year, Phalanx Biotech offers safe and comprehensive testing, with consultation available before and after the tests.
1.If the test results indicate a high risk, further confirmatory testing is provided free of charge.
2.Testing is conducted at the National Cheng Kung University Genomic Medicine Center, which holds multiple certifications, eliminating the need to send samples abroad for analysis.
3.Each report is endorsed and signed by a doctor.
4.The accuracy is highly reliable: the detection rates for Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome are as high as 99%.

It turns out that short strands of a baby's DNA enter the mother's bloodstream as early as 5-6 weeks, and can be tested from 10 weeks onwards (this includes twins as well). By drawing 10 c.c. of the mother's blood and using techniques to separate the blood, the baby's DNA is extracted to assess the risk of genetic mutations, including well-known conditions like Down syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, and others. The 3.0 test is the most comprehensive, covering disorders related to abnormal skeletal development, with reports typically delivered within about 10 working days.

Who is suitable for the NIPT 3.0 test?
1.Women who are over 10 weeks pregnant (12 weeks for twins).
2.Pregnant women concerned about invasive testing.
3.Women with abnormal ultrasound results, suspecting fetal abnormalities.
4.Pregnant women over 34 years of age or those at high risk for Down syndrome, and women at high risk for various diseases.

Determining your baby’s health and risks early can make your pregnancy more reassuring. I highly recommend everyone to get tested.
My baby is completely healthy, and all genetic diseases are at low risk. I am extremely grateful!
