77015-6
LaboratoryFetal Trisomy 18 risk [Interpretation] based on Plasma cell-free DNA by Sequencing Qualitative
Definition
This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, Sequenom Laboratories' VisibiliT Trisomy 18 test, which analyzes circulating cell-free DNA extracted from maternal plasma using whole genome sequencing to determine the risk for fetal chromosome 18 aneuploidy. VisibiliT is indicated for use in pregnant women with average risk for fetal chromosomal aneuploidy.
