Test details:
Additional screening of circulating cell-free foetal DNA (cffDNA) from maternal blood after foetal abortion to the standard test used: Cascade testing of the product of conception (by QF-PCR methods) excluding maternal contamination. We use a procedure designed for NIPT testing in pregnant women (for more information, please visit the SABSCAN product page). This test may be the only way to detect changes in the number (aneuploidy) of a given chromosome or part of it (structural aberration) in an aborted foetus if maternal contamination in the tissue from the abortion is detected and it is therefore not possible to use the standard procedure of cascading the product of conception.
