Horizon™ Carrier Screen with Fetal Focus™

Direct fetal insights for inherited single-gene conditions from the maternal carrier’s sample

Flexibility to meet your prenatal patient needs

Fetal Focus™, a noninvasive prenatal test (NIPT) for inherited conditions, screens the fetus for five genes after Horizon™ carrier screen identifies the patient as a carrier: Cystic fibrosis (CFTR), alpha-thalassemia (HBA1/HBA2), spinal muscular atrophy (SMN1), beta-hemoglobinopathies (HBB) including sickle cell disease*

†Fetal Focus™ is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. False positive and false negative results can occur. A high risk result does not mean the fetus is affected. Similarly, a low risk result does not definitively mean the fetus is unaffected. Genetic counseling and diagnostic testing should be offered to further evaluate high risk results.

Having access to a noninvasive option like Fetal Focus™ can provide critical information to support decision-making during pregnancy, especially in situations where partner testing isn’t possible

Improved detection with the proprietary LinkedSNP™ technology

Watch how LinkedSNPTM technology utilizes SNP markers, comprehensive NGS sequencing, and bioinformatic models to enhance detection of the disease-causing variants, regardless of ancestry
