NiCE™ is a Non-Invasive Chromosomal Evaluation.

This prenatal test is a simple blood test from the maternal mother (very small 10mls of blood only) to check for any chromosome defects, including checking on the gender of the baby.

It is low-risk, non-invasive and provides high accuracy in determining the health of your child.

The revolution of the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies enables us to test a small amount of maternal blood that  contains the cell-free fetal DNA. These fetal DNA allows for Genome Sequencing and a comprehensive data analysis in determining the Chromosome Sequence as early as 10 weeks.

Using the latest advances in medical science, abnormalities in chromosomes can be detected with 99% predictability without any risk to the mother or the baby as compared to traditional methods of testing (Amniocentesis, Chorionic Villus Sampling and serum screening).

You can now be assured of a good future for your family when you have done the NiCE™ test.

We all have 23 pairs of chromosomes, totalling 46. However, Chromosome Abnormality, i.e. an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome, can lead to children with Down’s Syndrome (T21), Edward’s Syndrome (T18), Patau Syndrome (T13) and other syndromes.

NiCE™ Test can detect fetus for abnormalities such as Down’s Syndrome, Edward’s Syndrome and Patau Syndrome with high level of accuracy of up to 99%.

NiCE™ Lab Results will show you any defects in the chromosomes analysed as well as the gender of the baby. If abnormalities are detected, you can obtain confirmation by means of an invasive test (e.g. amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling).

Your Obstetrician will be able to inform you about these tests.

1. Consult Your Obstetrician.
2. Doctors will extract a small sample of blood (10mls) from the mother and we will do the rest at our Lab.
3. Using the latest Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we will forward the Lab Results within 10 days to your Obstetrician.
