Women Health Dulwich offers comprehensive panorama test in London by highly experienced experts.
How is Panorama different?
- Panorama is the only NIPT that can tell the difference between the mother’s and the baby’s DNA, which results in:
- Fewer false positives and fewer false negatives1,2,3
- The highest reported gender accuracy of any NIPT (gender reporting is optional*)1,2,3
- The ability to detect triploidy, a severe chromosomal abnormality that can result in serious pregnancy complications if unmonitored 6,7
- The ability to distinguish whether twins are identical or fraternal – this information can impact the care plan your healthcare provider creates

What are microdeletions?
A small, missing piece of a chromosome is called a microdeletion. Unlike Down syndrome, which occurs more frequently in mothers who are 35 and older, microdeletions occur in pregnancies at the
same rate for mothers of any age. Panorama screens for five microdeletion syndromes associated with serious health problems:
- 22q11.2 deletion (DiGeorge) syndrome
- 1p36 deletion syndrome
- Angelman syndrome
- Prader-Willi syndrome
- Cri-du-chat syndrome
