NICC (Non-Invasive ChromosomesCheck) is a safe and highly accurate non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) that analyzes cell-free fetal DNA from a small maternal blood sample to screen for chromosomal abnormalities as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Powered by advanced NGS and fetal DNA enrichment technology, NICC enables clinicians to offer expecting parents reliable insights into their baby’s genetic health, without any risk to the mother or baby.

Here’s how NICC fits into the recommended prenatal care pathway, based on ACOG and ACMG guidelines.

✨1. Beyond “High Risk”: Why All Pregnant Individuals Should Be Offered NIPT✨
✅ NICC: Screens for the most common chromosomal conditions across all pregnancies
✅ NICC Extended: Adds clinically significant microdeletion / microduplication syndromes for deeper insight
📌 ACOG Guidance:
- Maternal age should not determine access to NIPT.
- All pregnant individuals, regardless of being

📢NICC® adalah ujian pranatal tidak invasif (NIPT) yang mudah,
selamat dan tepat bagi saringan Sindrom Down serta keabnormalan kromosom lain seawal 10 minggu kehamilan.

🧬Bagaimana NICC® Berfungsi?
✅Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) atau DNA fetus bebas sel ialah fragmen kecil DNA bayi yang memasuki salur darah ibu melalui plasenta.

✅CffDNA boleh dikesan dalam darah wanita hamil seawal trimester pertama dan jumlahnya akan meningkat sepanjang tempoh kehamilan.

✅NICC® menganalisis cffDNA ini untuk mengenal pasti risiko keabnormalan kromosom yang mungkin tidak dapat dikesan sehingga penghujung kehamilan atau selepas kelahiran tanpa saringan awal.

Expanded carrier screening (ECS) is a genetic test that identifies individuals who carry genes associated with inherited genetic conditions, even if they don't show symptoms themselves. It screens for a broader range of conditions than standard carrier screening, typically testing for hundreds of different disorders, including cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and Tay-Sachs disease.

Our newly enhanced CarrierCheck V2 screens for more than 1,200 inherited genetic conditions, empowering proactive reproductive choices. Designed for individuals and couples, it delivers highly accurate and clinically actionable results from a simple blood test; ideal for screening before or during early pregnancy. With broad gene coverage at affordable pricing, CarrierCheck V2 empowers families and clinicians to make informed reproductive health decisions.

❤️International Thalassaemia Day | 8 May 2025

Every 8th of May, we honour the strength of those living with Thalassaemia and reaffirm our commitment to a future where every patient receives the care and support they deserve.

This year’s theme calls on us all — families, healthcare providers, and communities — to come together, raise awareness, and put patients first.

Did you know?
Thalassaemia is a genetic blood disorder that can be inherited even when both parents appear healthy. This is because both parents may be carriers — they each carry a gene associated with Thalassaemia, but do not have any symptoms themselves. Early carrier screening is key to making informed decisions.
