Overview

Prenatal Testing Research Study: Prenatal Genetic Screening for Pregnant Individuals

Every pregnancy journey comes with enough uncertainty, and genetic screening can help detect powerful information to inform decisions and aid in planning for the future. The CONNECTOR study involves three prenatal screening tests: Foresight®, Prequel, and FirstGene®. This study is looking to understand how a single screen with multiple results in a single report is different from multiple tests with multiple reports.

About the Study

The sponsor is looking to understand the clinical experience for their new product. During pregnancy, there are two main genetic screens. One looks to see if parents could pass down certain health conditions, and the other looks to see if the baby may have certain health conditions. We want to make genetic screening easier for you and your family.
