No, not all NIPTs are the same. Here are the reasons Panorama is different:
- Panorama is the only NIPT to differentiate between mom and baby. Since Panorama uses single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) technology, the test is able to identify DNA from mom separately from the baby’s DNA.
- SNP-based NIPT has the least amount of false positives/false negatives because the test can detect confounding conditions such as:
- Vanishing Twins
- Triploidy
whereas other NIPT tests cannot detect these conditions.
Additionally,
- Panorama is the only NIPT on the market with no incorrect sex calls in low risk pregnancies
And if you’re having twins, Panorama can uniquely provide:
- Zygosity information
- Individual fetal fractions for dizygotic twins
- Determine fetal sex of each twin
