Screen fetal genetic risks early and plan with your clinician
NIFTY Mono is a non-invasive prenatal screening test using a maternal blood sample to assess the chance of selected monogenic conditions. A screening result is not a diagnosis.
Why consider monogenic screening?
Genetic conditions are not always visible before birth
A monogenic condition can occur without a known family history
Some genetic variants arise spontaneously.
Some conditions may not be visible on ultrasound
Some features may become apparent only as a child develops.
Prenatal screening panels differ
Not all prenatal screening tests assess monogenic conditions.
Who may consider NIFTY Mono?
NIFTY Mono screening may be considered from 10 weeks of pregnancy. Discuss individual circumstances and suitability with your clinician.
Family and pregnancy history
Pregnancy conceived through IVF
Family history of dominant monogenic conditions
Questions about fetal genetic screening
Ultrasound findings to discuss with a clinician:
- Bone or skeletal structure
- Heart
- Fetal nervous system
NIFTY Mono screening information
Non-invasive sample
The test uses a maternal blood sample and is non-invasive.
Screening limitations
Performance varies by condition and variant. Screening is not a diagnosis; discuss results and follow-up with your clinician.
