Limitations:

If the test result is negative, there is always a small chance that the pregnancy could be affected by one of the disorders the test screens for. As with all screening tests, false positives can occur. This test can only detect the specific chromosomal disorders tested. It doesn’t screen for all other disorders, birth defects, or health conditions that could be present in a pregnancy.
Additional Information:

Innatal™ Prenatal Screen is available for singleton pregnancies, twin pregnancies, egg donor pregnancies, and surrogate pregnancies.
Schedule: Results in approximately 2 weeks from the date of receipt at Progenity
Method: Massively parallel sequencing technology
Performing Lab: Progenity, Inc.
Clinical Significance: This test looks at DNA from the pregnancy that crosses into the mother’s blood to screen for chromosomal disorders that can cause serious birth defects, intellectual disability, or other health problems. Any baby can be born with a chromosome disorder, which is usually caused by a random error of cell division very early in pregnancy. As women get older, the chance of having a baby with a chromosome disorder goes up. However, young women can have babies with these conditions.
