Maternal Blood Testing

Importance Of Maternal Blood

Maternal blood testing is a safe and effective tool for identifying chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy. The method of detection, called non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), involves a simple blood screen which allows scientists to analyze DNA. This process is less invasive than the commonly used chorionic villus sampling, allowing for a more comfortable experience for willing donors. StemExpress Foundation has long supported the commercial development of NIPT. These tests are important to ensure that expecting mothers are able to obtain the most accurate information concerning their child’s health. Maternal blood samples provide researchers with the genetic material needed to continue the development and advancement of NIPT screening.
