Note!
Patients taking the Veracity test at Synevo's blood draws can report for a blood draw at the earliest three business days after the order has been made and paid for.
At that time, a referral must be filled out, which must be signed by a doctor. If a patient reports to the Synevo collection center without a referral signed by a doctor, Synevo staff will not be able to collect the material and perform the Veracity test.
What is Veracity?
VERACITY is a non-invasive prenatal screening test (NIPT) that assesses a child's risk for the most common genetic abnormalities: aneuploidies and microdeletions. The genetic disorders that the test detects carry serious consequences, often affecting quality of life. Their early detection is a chance to prepare for a child with special needs. Veracity is a completely safe test, its performance poses no risk to the pregnant woman or the fetus.
During pregnancy, free fetal DNA enters the mother's blood from the placenta and circulates in her bloodstream along with her own DNA. The Veracity test involves taking a blood sample from the mother, isolating the free DNA and analyzing it.
Pregnancy DNA testing is not an easy task
The test is suitable for singleton and twin pregnancies, as well as in disappearing twin syndrome.
What diseases does VERACITY detect?
The test can detect a very broad spectrum of disorders, among them are microdeletions, aneuploidies and monogenic diseases. Among the most common of these are:
Aneuploidies:
- Down syndrome (trisomy 21)
- Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18)
- Patau syndrome (trisomy 13)
- Turner syndrome(Monosomy X),
- Klinefelter syndrome(XXY),
- Clinefelter syndrome Jacobs(XYY),
- Trisomy of the X chromosome(XXX),
- XYY syndrome
Aneuploidies are disorders of the amount of genetic material. It means that its amount in cells is not a multiple of the DNA content in one set of chromosomes for a given person. When there are extra copies, we speak of trisomy, and when there are no copies of a chromosome, we speak of monosomy.
Microdeletions:
- Di George syndrome
- Smith-Magens ensemble
- Wolf-Hirschorn syndrome
- 1p36 deletion syndrome
Microdeletion is the absence of a very small part of a chromosome. While some microdeletions have little impact on a child's health and life, there are some that can cause mental disabilities and birth defects. Microdeletions occur during pregnancies with the same frequency regardless of the mother's age, so the young age of the mother does not reduce the incidence of microdeletions; the risk is similar for children born to women in their 20s and 40s.

The listed disorders differ from each other in symptoms, prognosis, etc. in case of their diagnosis, it is advisable to visit a specialist, who will explain what action should be taken and what methods of treatment or therapy are available for children affected by a particular genetic defect.
