Panorama offers a personalized risk score, which indicates whether your baby is at high or low risk for genetic disease. Your report could state the following:
A low risk result indicates that it is very unlikely that your baby is affected by one of the conditions on the Panorama panel.
Panorama is a screening test, which means that this test does not make a final diagnosis. A high-risk result means that your pregnancy could at risk for a specific genetic condition. However, you cannot know for sure if your baby has that condition based on screening results alone. All medical decisions should be made after discussion with your clinician regarding diagnostic testing during the pregnancy, like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or testing the baby after birth.
Speak with your clinician to determine next steps, such as genetic counseling, detailed ultrasound, and the option of diagnostic testing.
In a small percentage of cases, Panorama may not be able to obtain suffcient information from your blood sample to determine an accurate result. If this occurs, a second blood sample may be requested.
Among commercially available NIPTs, Panorama has the highest published accuracy in determining the sex of the baby. Panorama’s ability to analyze SNPs unique to the Y chromosome and to detect the presence of vanishing twin pregnancies helps to overcome causes of inaccurate reporting of fetal sex common with other technologies.
If the mother is a known carrier of a genetic condition, or if there is a known family history of an x-linked condition, (for example, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) determination of the baby’s sex by NIPT can help determine the need for further diagnostic testing in the pregnancy.
Recognized by the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis (ISPD) as an important element in evaluating NIPT results for twins12
An important metric necessary to interpret the reliability of NIPT results, ACOG recognizes that, without this measurement, aneuploidy could go undetected if the affected twin has low fetal fraction8
With zero fetal sex errors in published validation studies for both singletons and twins, patients and clinicians can have confidence in Panorama results5-7, 10
