PRENIX

Prenatal Intelligence with Reflex Testing

Deeper prenatal genetic insight from 10 weeks of pregnancy. Advanced screening for chromosomal conditions, microdeletions and inherited recessive disorders.

Why PRENIX

Designed for Deeper Insight

A wider look at Prenatal Genetics. Many serious genetic conditions can be silently inherited by the fetus, even in the absence of any family history, and may occur in otherwise healthy couples.

PRENIX helps access comprehensive prenatal genetic screening. Designed to screen for:

01

Trisomy 13, 18 & 21

02

05 Clinically Significant Microdeletions

03

Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies

04

18 Common Recessive Genetic Diseases

05

All Other Chromosomes

Reflex Testing

Includes reflex paternal confirmation testing if any of the recessive conditions are positive in the baby's report.

FAQ

Common Questions About PRENIX

The following answers summarise information from the PRENIX brochure. For clinical guidance please consult your physician.

PRENIX is an advanced prenatal genetic screening test by Biosytech Medical Laboratory. It analyses cell-free DNA from the mother's blood to provide deeper insight into chromosomal and inherited genetic conditions from as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy.
PRENIX is recommended from 10 weeks of pregnancy — during the first trimester.
PRENIX screens for Trisomy 13, 18 and 21; sex chromosome aneuploidies; all other chromosomes; five clinically significant microdeletions (DiGeorge, 1p36, Angelman/Prader-Willi, Cri-du-Chat and Wolf-Hirschhorn); and 18 common recessive genetic conditions across 17 genes.
Reflex testing is a feature of PRENIX that automatically includes paternal confirmation testing if any of the recessive conditions is positive in the baby's report — using the 5 ml paternal EDTA sample.
A 10 ml maternal blood sample collected in a cfDNA Streck tube, along with a 5 ml EDTA blood sample from the father when paternal testing is required. For added convenience, PRENIX sample collection can also be arranged at home through uniCare, subject to service availability.
NIPT results in 8–10 days; the final PRENIX report is delivered within 18 days.
Yes. PRENIX includes NIPT for all chromosomes plus 5 microdeletions, sex chromosome aneuploidies and 18 recessive genetic conditions.
Yes — five clinically significant microdeletions are screened: DiGeorge Syndrome, 1p36 Deletion, Angelman/Prader-Willi, Cri-du-Chat and Wolf-Hirschhorn.
If a relevant recessive finding is identified through the maternal screening, reflex paternal testing may be recommended to provide additional genetic information and support further clinical interpretation.
