Zenit by Nace

Zenit by NACE is an advanced non-invasive test that takes prenatal screening to a new level. It offers
the broadest coverage in pregnancy risk assessment covering more than 150 genetic conditions.

Zenit by Nace

Approximately 1 in 80 pregnancies may be affected by one of the genetic conditions screened by the new test Zenit.

Zenit represents a redefinition of the current concept of prenatal screening since it analyses a comprehensive battery of clinical conditions relevant to the well-being of the future baby. This will give a greater peace of mind for the patient.

Zenit offers a new added value to prenatalrisk assessment, non-contemplated with the current approaches.

Besides assessing the risk of chromosome aneuploidies in the foetus, Zenit screens for 112
single gene disorders of moderate to severe phenotypes with significant impact on the quality of life.

Increases the detection rate by a factor of five compared to other basic screening tests.
Increases the detection rate by a factor of three compared to the most complete non-
invasive prenatal test.

Zenit by Nace offers the most complete clinical approach for:

Cytogenetic conditions screening: Screens for whole aneuploidies in all chromosomes and
deletions/duplications with a resolution comparable to the karyotype test.
Inherited mutations screening: Evaluates the risk of transmission of more than 100 recessive
conditions. A Gene panel recommended by the American College of Medical genetics and
genomics (ACMG).

How is it the procedure?

Indications:

About 3-4% of all births are affected by a genetic disorder:

Benefits

Reduces unnecessary invasive procedures (compared to the traditional first-trimester
screening).
Enables an early screening of pathologies not associated with ultrasound anomalies during
pregnancy.
Knowing whether or not the foetus has one of these significant and often serious genetic
disorders allows healthcare providers and families to form a plan of care, including but not
limited to genetic counselling, specialist referrals, confirmatory studies, and delivery care.
Includes pre and potential post-test counselling.
Informs the couple if they are carriers of mutations in the studied conditions.

Limitations

- It is not a diagnostic test, therefore, any high-risk result must be confirmed/ruled out by an
  invasive procedure.
- Zenit by NACE does not include inherited mutation screening different from those included
  in the previous list*.
- The inherited mutation screening is unsuitable for parents from gamete donations
  programs**.
- Germinal mosaicism (mutations present in the gametes) is not detected throughout this
  analysis since the biological material is obtained from a blood draw.
- A negative result does not entirely rule out the presence of de novo mutations in the studied
  genes in the offspring.
- The fetal fraction is a component of the analysis algorithm and is combined with other
  quality metrics to determine the confidence in the results. With the technology used, a
  minimum of 2% foetal fraction is necessary to consider a result as informative.

*If your gene of interest is not included in the analysis, please contact us at

**For patients who have resorted to gamete donation, performing the cytogenetic conditions
screening is possible. For these cases, please contact us at prenataldiagnosis@igenomix.com

Criteria

¿ Why extend the screening to inherited conditions?

The conditions screened relates to at least one of the following criteria:

Causing cognitive disability
Requirement for surgical or medical intervention
Affecting quality of life.

Inherited mutation screening

The test Zenit by NACE test covers a wide range of single-gene genetic disorders recommended by the leading professional societies.
The recessive conditions are those in which both copies of the same gene are mutated. People with only one defective gene in the pair are called carriers. These people are often not affected by the condition.
If both parents have the same mutated gene, thereis a 25% of chance that their child will be
born with a severe disease.

Knowing this information enables:

To manage the ongoing pregnancy the best way possible
Take the appropriate measures to encourage the birth of a healthy baby in future
pregnancies.
