Patients Medical ((212) 794-8800), a holistic clinic, has expanded its services to offer prenatal genetic testing for pregnant women living in the New York metro area.

New York, United States - June 19, 2023 /PressCable/ —
The practice's recent expansion offers pregnant women multiple options for prenatal genetic testing, which can identify risks for certain birth defects or genetic disorders in the fetus. Prenatal genetic testing may be issued using ultrasound, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis, which are the four most common types.

With this announcement, Patients Medical hopes to especially encourage women who have a personal or family history of genetic disorders, age-related risks, or who have experienced multiple miscarriages, to schedule a prenatal screening at the clinic. Both first-trimester and second-trimester screening tests are available.
While prenatal genetic testing has been used for more than 30 years, recent technological advancements have allowed for a rapid evolution in what it is capable of detecting. As explained in a 2016 NIH study, prenatal screening is able to detect Down syndrome at a rate of up to 88-96% and Trisomy 18, or Edwards syndrome, at a rate of up to 85-95%. With the development of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), prenatal testing can now identify signs of intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as risk for early miscarriage.
For some women, prenatal testing can create anxiety or pain, and some diagnostic testing like chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, does slightly increase the risk of miscarriage. Patients Medical offers the expertise of gynecologists, internists, and nutritionists who can work integratively to provide holistic support for patients through the prenatal genetic testing process. Stress and anxiety-relieving techniques may be included in a patient's treatment, as well as a nutrition plan specifically geared for a healthy pregnancy.
