What conditions are covered by Generation?

Genomic Diagnostics provides you with three options for your NIPT test. Please discuss with your doctor which one is right for you. All options can tell you the sex of the baby if that is something you want to know.

  • Generation
  • Generation 46
  • Generation Plus

All Generation options look for too few (missing) or too many (extra) copies of chromosomes.

The most commonly seen and accurately chromosomal changes detected with all Generation options include:

  • Down syndrome ‚Äì an extra copy of chromosome 21 (called trisomy 21 or T21)
  • Edward‚Äôs syndrome ‚Äì an extra copy of chromosome 18 (called  trisomy 18 or T18)
  • Patau syndrome ‚Äì an extra copy of chromosome 13 (called trisomy 13 or T13)
  • Specific sex chromosome number changes
  • Fetal sex

The standard Generation test looks at all of these.
