Vistara Single-Gene Non-Invasive Prenatal Test – Identifying if your baby is at a higher risk of having a single-gene genetic condition

The Vistara prenatal single-gene blood screening test is offered at MUMS – for serious genetic conditions. Vistara tests for 25 genetic conditions.

Testing from 9 weeks of pregnancy
Results take approx. 3 weeks
Vistara, single-gene NIPT, - insights for better health outcomes

Genes are sections of DNA which guide how our cells function and grow. Some genetic conditions are caused by chance, when a change happens in a specific gene in an egg or sperm.

Single-gene conditions can impact a developing baby’s – bones, heart, brain and skull.

Vistara is available for singleton pregnancies, including egg donor and gestational carrier pregnancies.

NIPT Panorama and Illumina screens for large genetic changes such as Downs, Edwards, Patau whereas Vistara single-gene screens offers additional insights about your baby’s health from the placental DNA for signs of single-gene changes – for example –genetic conditions relating to the heart, bones, brains, skull. Full list below.

Positive Vistara results

Remote consult with MUMS consultant to explain the result
Remote Genetic Counselling is available with the Geneticist at the laboratory
The option to have a detailed scan and consultation with a Consultant in Fetal Medicine
Invasive Testing – CVS or Amniocentesis

1 in 600 pregnancies are affected by a single-gene condition which are more common than Down Syndrome. Children can benefit from early treatment.

If the test is inconclusive, no result - You have the option to have the test repeated at no extra cost. Approximately 1 in 25 tests could result in either no result or “other type of result”.

Early insights guide healthier futures

Screens for 25 autosomal dominant and X-linked conditions across 30 genes with Vistara single-gene NIPT
Combined incidence greater than Down syndrome
Provide clinically actionable information
Many single-gene conditions benefit from early intervention
Inform decisions for pregnancy and delivery management, early interventions, and patient education to ensure every child reaches their full potential
Perform testing with ease and get clear results
No paternal and/or egg-donor sample necessary
Find conditions other screening modalities would miss until after the window for critical intervention

Why have the Vistara Single Gene Test in addition to Panorama or Illumina?

As with Panorama and Illumina NIPT– Vistara Single Gene NIPT is a screening test and not a diagnostic test. If positive – the pregnancy may be affected by the positive screen for one of the conditions. Invasive diagnostic tests - Amniocentesis and CVS may be recommended.

The scan associated with Vistara screening simply confirms baby’s heartbeat and gestation.

This scan associated with Vistara NIPT is not for:

However – for ladies who are beyond 12 weeks wanting Vistara and a scan for more than just clarification of gestation and heartbeat then book one of the scans above with your NIPT/NIPT Single Gene test as an add on.

Cost of test is £925 including ultrasound scan and follow up consultation with results – or £885 if Vistara is tested at the same time as your NIPT Panorama or Illumina.
