Express fetal DNA: the fastest prenatal screening in Quebec

Prenatal screening for the main trisomies (13, 18 and 21) by fetal DNA and the possibility of knowing the sex of the baby, using a single blood test and without ultrasound, are definitely the most popular requests in terms of services offered by Prenato. That's why our team and that of the Genolab laboratory have worked hard to offer you the fastest prenatal fetal DNA screening on the market: Express fetal DNA.

Express fetal DNA allows you to obtain the results for the detection of the main trisomies as well as the analysis of sex chromosomes (if you wish) in only 2 to 3 working days of analysis in the laboratory

Quick screening, made easy!

This delay, which is excessively fast, allows us to stand out from our competitors, who offer results in 7 to 14 days of analysis. How does the service work? Nothing could be easier!

1. Contact Prenato to schedule your appointment: On line or by Telephone and mention if you want the Express option. The option of regular delivery at a lower cost remains available.

2. Take the opportunity to plan your routine 1 and your nuchal translucency at the same time*

3. Ask your treating professional for a prescription for the services requested or print the online form.

4. During your prenatal screening appointment, a nurse will take the time to explain the screening chosen to you: the benefits, limitations, types of results that can be received, options that can be added, etc.

5. The Prenato team will send you your result or follow up with your treating professional in case of an abnormal result.

6. Take advantage of the expertise of the Prenato team throughout your pregnancy if you have questions, concerns, or concerns. Browse our online platform to find out about pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for your baby.

Our team has always advocated easy access and availability to pregnant women who want to obtain a test that is up to 99% reliable. To this, we are now adding access to rapid screening.

Accessibility criteria

Remember that prenatal fetal DNA screening is done in a single blood test and can be done as early as 10E week of pregnancy. It is the only method that allows for non-invasive and risk-free screening so early during pregnancy. It is then possible to get your results as early as the first trimester of pregnancy. This new test also meets the recommendations of the Society of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians of Canada (SOGC) which only recommends the detection of the main trisomies (13, 18 and 21). The knowledge of fetal sex is free of charge and is only for the great happiness of our customers, since this request is very popular among our future parents.

If you wish, you will always be able to add screening for sex chromosome abnormalities (free of charge) or to screen for all trisomies, sex chromosomes and certain microdeletions. **

*Routine 1 and nuchal translucency services are available at the majority of Prenato clinics
**Express DNA cannot be offered when microdeletions are added
