IriSight™ Prenatal Genetic Testing
What is IriSight™?
IriSight™ is a genetic test based on amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). IriSight™ uses whole genome sequencing (WGS) to identify DNA changes that can affect your baby’s health and development.
Who is IriSight™ for?
IriSight™ is recommended if your healthcare provider suggests diagnostic genetic testing using amniocentesis or CVS*. Or if you are generally interested in diagnostic testing for peace of mind. In these cases, IriSight™ testing is the most comprehensive option available.
*Amniocentesis or CVS is sometimes recommended when ultrasound results are abnormal.
The more you know, the better prepared you’ll be
Knowing if there’s a genetic diagnosis impacting your baby’s development can change the way your pregnancy is managed by your healthcare team. It can lead to treatments or therapies before and after delivery, as well as connect you with other families who are experiencing a similar situation.

Only IriSight™ testing sequences your baby’s entire genome, analyzing the data with innovative software that identifies more types of DNA changes than any other test offered. Only IriSight™ testing sees the full picture.
