Integrated Prenatal Screen FTS $65 CAD

The Serum Integrated Test is a prenatal screening for Down syndrome and open neural tube defects.

The test is performed in two stages. The first stage is ideally performed at 10 or 11 weeks of pregnancy. The second stage is ideally performed at 15 or 16 weeks.

For women under the age of 35 the Integrated Test might be more accurate than the screening based on the first blood sample and ultrasound measurement of Nuchal Translucency.
