Panorama™, the most ordered NIPT, can assess conditions that can affect your baby’s health by doing a simple blood draw on you.1,2 A pregnant person’s blood contains DNA from them and also from their baby’s placenta. Panorama™ NIPT is a blood test performed during pregnancy that looks at the placental DNA to see if your baby has a high or low chance of having certain chromosomal conditions that could affect its health, along with providing your baby’s sex. Panorama™ delivers a personalized risk report to you and your clinician.
This test screens for the most common trisomies, triploidy and for 5 microdeletions. Microdeletions occur when a chromosome is missing a small piece of genetic information.
This package includes an early pregnancy scan.
Why Choose Vistara?
Single-gene changes typically occur at random in eggs and sperm and can impact any pregnancy. 1 in 600 pregnancies are impacted by one of the single-gene conditions Vistara screens for—together they are more common than Down syndrome.1,2 While many children affected by single-gene conditions can benefit from early treatment, these conditions are often difficult to detect prenatally. Vistara is safe to perform during pregnancy, requiring only a blood draw from you. Results are typically available in 2–3 weeks. You wi l receive a personalized risk report that indicates if your pregnancy screened positive or negative for the screened conditions.
Conditions Screened For
Vistara screens for 25 conditions, across 30 genes, that affect how different parts of your baby develop. Single-gene conditions can impact a developing baby’s:
– Bones (e.g. achondroplasia)
– Heart (e.g. Noonan syndrome)
– Brain (e.g. epileptic encephalopathy)
– Skull (e.g. craniosynostosis

- About 1 in 25 tests could receive a no result or other type of result.4 You should speak with your clinician about these result types and whether you should consider having a second blood draw to do the test again.
