Multiplicom receives €200,000 grant for novel non-invasive pre-natal test
IWT grant to support development of early aneuploidy detection during pregnancy
The test, a single tube multiplex PCR reaction starting from fetal DNA isolated from the mother’s blood, allows the identification of copy number variations (or ‘aneuploidies’) of chromosomes 21, 18, 13, X and Y. Such variations cause genetic diseases like Down’s syndrome, Edward’s syndrome, Patau syndrome, triple X syndrome and Klinefelter’s syndrome.
