A low-risk result means that it is very unlikely your baby has one of the conditions screened for by Panorama. For most conditions, the chance is less than 1 in 10,000.

It’s important to remember that no screening test can rule out all possible conditions, but a low-risk result is highly reassuring and means that further testing is usually not needed.

It’s important to remember that Panorama is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. A high-risk result means your pregnancy has a higher chance of a specific genetic condition, but it does not confirm that your baby has the condition.

If you receive a high-risk result, your healthcare provider will guide you through the next steps, which may include:

• Genetic counselling to discuss the result in detail

• Detailed ultrasound scans

• Diagnostic testing such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, which can confirm whether the condition is present

All medical decisions should be made in partnership with your healthcare provider, using the most accurate information available.

Yes. In some cases, Panorama may not return a clear result on the first attempt. This happens in about 1 in 65 tests. If this occurs, your healthcare provider may recommend a second blood draw to try the test again.

In rare cases, Panorama may also provide results that relate to the mother’s genetics or physical health, rather than the baby’s. If this happens, your healthcare provider will explain what the finding means and guide you on the next steps.
