HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigens):

HLA typing is a type of genetic test used to identify certain individual variations in a person’s immune system.

It is much more complicated than blood typing. HLA matching is used to identify people who can safely donate stem cells, an organ or bone marrow to a person who needs a transplant. If two people have the same HLA type, they are considered to be “matched”. Different diagnoses, treatments and stem cell types require different levels of matching.

NIPT Extended (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)

A blood test that can identify chromosomal abnormalities in a foetus.

NIPT Extended shows how likely it is that the foetus has certain abnormalities in the chromosomes. A screening method from week 11 of pregnancy (10+0). A venous blood sample from the mother’s arm is used to analyse the baby’s DNA. In each cell there are 46 chromosomes that contain the genetic material, DNA. Half of the chromosomes come from the egg and half from the sperm. When the cells divide after fertilisation, there can be abnormalities. Some chromosome abnormalities are very serious. Others are barely noticeable.

At the moment we only offer this service in Stockholm and the surrounding area, Gothenburg, Skåne and Västerås.
