verifi® Prenatal Test Advantage

Verinata’s verifi® test has some key advantages that make it the first choice among clinicians.

  • Superior Technology: Only clinical evidence showing across-the-genome analysis in a real-world population
  • Comprehensive Analysis: First test to offer option of comprehensive sex chromosome analysis
  • Informative Results: Helpful classification that can indicate borderline results

The verifi® prenatal test leverages the power of Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) with a highly optimized algorithm to provide clear, informative results. The SAFeR method calculates a Normalized Chromosome Value (NCV) for each chromosome, which significantly reduces data variation caused by GC content, sample-to-sample and run-to-run variations and other factors. By pre-determining the most optimal reference chromosomes in an empirical analysis, no post-hoc correction factors or patient-specific information are necessary.

The verifi® test with SAFeR provides definitive results. It is not a risk score, and it is not dependent on maternal age, maternal weight or gestational age (after 10 weeks). Unlike SNP-based tests, the verifi® test is not affected by ethnicity.

verifi® test with SAFeR Available Targeted Sequencing Tests
 
Definite, informative results Risk scores similar to serum screens
Very low failure rate (<1%) High failure rates (5–10% or greater)
Comprehensive genome analysis Limited to few chromosomes
Not constrained by patient factors or paternal sample May rely on patient factors, paternal sample
Accepts egg donors May exclude egg donors

 

Safe and Effective Classification

All testing methods can encounter borderline results. The verifi® prenatal test applies a safe and effective classification to these results, employing a dual threshold with a third result type: “Aneuploidy Suspected (Borderline Value).”

In a large-scale study population, approximately 0.2–0.6% of results were classified as “Aneuploidy Suspected” for each particular chromosome.* Both aneuploid and euploid samples can receive this result, which gives an indication that chances of a false positive are higher. Both “Aneuploidy Detected” and “Aneuploidy Suspected” results should be confirmed with an invasive procedure.
