What is the NxGen Informed Prenatal Test?

It is a non-invasive prenatal screen that can determine with a high degree of accuracy whether your baby
may be at risk for certain conditions. With the NxGen Informed Prenatal Test, you will know more about your
baby’s risk in order to make an informed decision and weigh the benefits and risks of an invasive procedure.

Why Has My Doctor Recommended This Test?

pregnancy or 32 years or older at delivery for a twin pregnancy).

• Your maternal serum screen is “positive” or abnormal.

• Your ultrasound reveals abnormalities suggestive of a common chromosome condition.

• You have a personal or family history that indicates a higher risk for trisomies 21, 18, 13, or other sex
chromosome aneuploidies.
