Prenatal Genetic Test after IVF
■Resolving Various Anxieties of Long-Awaited Pregnancy
This is a DNA test that can confirm the risk of mix-ups during artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF) by analyzing the fetal DNA in the blood of pregnant women from the 8th week of pregnancy, as well as the mother's and father's DNA.
■The Only IVF Prenatal Genetic Test in Japan
Artificial insemination and IVF are increasing worldwide year by year, but mistakes during these procedures are also on the rise globally.
Previously, we were unable to respond to requests from customers who wanted to confirm that there was no mix-up until the baby was born.
seeDNA Genetic Medical Laboratories has successfully developed the only genetic test in Japan that can clearly resolve anxiety about mix-ups during IVF using a safe method for the fetus that utilizes the pregnant woman's (mother's) blood for the first time in Japan.
Support your reassuring maternity life with the "Prenatal Genetic Test after IVF".
■ Free Retest
Even if a shipping accident occurs during sample transit, or if the DNA in the sample is damaged, we will perform a retest free of charge.
We will bear the round-trip shipping fee and perform the free retest as a speed test, so please be assured.
■ Full Refund Guarantee
seeDNA Genetic Medical Laboratories has not made a single diagnostic mistake since starting testing in 2016. In the unlikely event of an incorrect result, we will fully refund the testing fee.

Anyone can easily receive the test at 300 medical institutions nationwide.※1
We can also make reservations for medical institutions on behalf of customers in accordance with their schedules.

※1: The blood collection fee will be borne by the customer.
Resolving Anxieties about Baby's Health Simultaneously
While mix-ups during IVF are concerning, aren't you also worried about your baby's health?
With seeDNA Genetic Medical Laboratories' genetic testing after IVF, along with confirming the mix-up of fertilized eggs, you can simultaneously test for risks of genetic diseases such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and Turner syndrome, as well as 1-22 chromosome number abnormalities, and the gender of the baby.
Free Talent/Constitution Test
A genetic test to find out the genetic tendency of 30 to 50 items of your baby's talents and constitution is free of charge.※1
No additional blood collection, fees, or testing periods are required at all. This is the only genetic test related to the baby's profile in Japan provided by seeDNA Genetic Medical Laboratories.※2
Free Gender Test
This is a next-generation gender test that determines the baby's gender most accurately using the mother's blood from the 6th week of pregnancy.
Preparing for birth according to the baby's gender makes for a more fulfilling maternity life.※2
Disease Risk Test (NIPT) is Available
The disease risk test is a test that determines the risk of fetal genetic diseases, which other companies perform as a high-cost "Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT)".
In addition to Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome, you can find out the risk of various genetic diseases, including abnormalities in all 1-22 chromosome numbers.※3
No additional sample submission or extension of the testing period is required for the disease risk test.
■ Genetic Diseases Determined by Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT)
※1: Single pregnancy is targeted. The genetic tendency of 30 to 50 items out of the 88 test items in the [Talent/Constitution List] below will be reported. Test items cannot be designated.
※2: You can check the results 6 days after the report (or within 1 business day if you post on SNS).
※3: This is not a definitive diagnosis like amniotic fluid or chorionic villi tests conducted in hospitals.
This is a screening test conducted as clinical research at seeDNA Genetic Medical Laboratories. It evaluates the risk of specific genetic diseases like Down syndrome as "High Risk", "Low Risk", or "Decision Pending".
■ A "High Risk" result means that the risk of the disease is high, and it does not mean that the fetus has the disease.
■ A "Low Risk" result means that the risk of the disease is low, and it does not mean that the fetus does not have the disease.
■ "Decision Pending" means that the risk could not be determined.
Talents and Constitution are Also Determined
This is the world's first genetic test that reveals not only the gender of the baby but also the genetic tendencies of talents and constitution.
Testing is OK from the 6th week of pregnancy!
No need to wait until the long-awaited meeting with the baby or childbirth.
Make maternity life more fun with childbirth preparation and parenting plans customized to your baby's talent, constitution, and gender!※1
The results obtained from this test are only for genetic regions that can be analyzed from fetal DNA obtained from maternal blood.
Therefore, the genetic tendencies of 30 to 50 items out of 88 test items will be reported.
Please note that test items cannot be designated in advance.
DNA Test that Resolves Anxiety about Pregnancy by Assisted Reproductive Technology
Fertility treatments and assisted reproductive technologies in Japan include artificial insemination (AIH), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and the number of these cases is increasing year by year.
Assisted reproductive technology procedures like artificial insemination and IVF, which are performed in large numbers daily, involve complex steps.
Since most of the steps in these highly complex procedures are performed manually by laboratory technicians, it would not be surprising if sperm, egg, or embryo mix-ups occurred at some stage.
Previously, scandals and mistakes involving mix-ups in assisted reproductive technology have been reported in the news, but since most people do not undergo DNA paternity testing to confirm mix-ups, in reality, mistakes and misconduct may be more latent.
When seeing the actual mistakes and misconduct related to IVF that happened in Japan and around the world on the internet, you get anxious about whether it is really a pregnancy with your own sperm/egg or embryo, right?
You do not have to wait for birth with such anxiety.
Testing Method
seeDNA Genetic Medical Laboratories' genetic test after IVF can be easily conducted by collecting 20 ml of maternal blood after the 8th week of pregnancy and rubbing the inside of the father's and mother's cheeks with a cotton swab. Blood collection is similar to that performed in a health checkup, making it a safe genetic test with no risk to the mother and the unborn baby.
Subsidy for Definitive Diagnosis and Genetic Counseling Costs
If you are determined as high risk※1 in the premium plan disease risk test, we will cash back half of the definitive diagnosis fee received at a medical institution and the counseling fee with a genetic specialist/genetic counselor.※2
