Miscarriage or problems during pregnancy

Rainbow WGS Carrier Test for Abnormal Prenatal Development Analysis

  • This test examines 710 genes linked to over 700 conditions that can cause miscarriage or problems with pregnancy development. These disorders are often the cause of repeated miscarriages.

Pregnancy Disorders That Genetic Testing Can Detect in the Mother

1️⃣ Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL)

  • Some women have genetic mutations affecting blood clotting or hormone regulation, leading to multiple miscarriages.

  • Genes involved: F2 (Prothrombin), F5 (Factor V Leiden), MTHFR (linked to folate metabolism).

2️⃣ Preeclampsia & Hypertension Disorders

  • Certain genetic variations make women more prone to high blood pressure, swelling, and organ damage during pregnancy.

  • Genes involved: FLT1, ENG, ACE (linked to vascular function).

3️⃣ Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)

  • Some women have genetic risk factors that increase insulin resistance during pregnancy.

  • Genes involved: TCF7L2, MTNR1B (related to glucose regulation).

4️⃣ Thrombophilia (Blood Clotting Disorders)

  • Genetic mutations can increase the risk of dangerous blood clots, which may cause miscarriage or pregnancy complications.

  • Genes involved: F5 (Factor V Leiden), F2 (Prothrombin mutation), MTHFR.

5️⃣ HELLP Syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, Low Platelets)

  • A severe pregnancy complication linked to inherited clotting disorders or immune dysfunction.

  • Genes involved: ACE, SERPINE1 (affecting blood pressure & clotting).

6️⃣ Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)

  • Genetic factors can impair placental function, leading to poor fetal growth.

  • Genes involved: NOS3, VEGFA (affecting blood flow to the placenta).

7️⃣ Eclampsia & Seizures During Pregnancy

  • Some genetic mutations increase the risk of severe high blood pressure leading to seizures.

  • Genes involved: AGT, REN (related to blood pressure regulation).

8️⃣ Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP)

  • A liver disorder where genetic mutations affect bile acid transport, leading to severe itching and risk of stillbirth.

  • Genes involved: ABCB11, ATP8B1 (bile acid transporters).


Why Genetic Testing Matters

  • Early Detection – Allows preventive care and better pregnancy management.

  • Personalized Treatment – Doctors can tailor medications, diet, and monitoring based on the genetic risk.

  • Better Pregnancy Outcomes – Reduces risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, or complications.

  • There are many genetic disorders that can be checked before birth, but not all of them are tested for regularly


Test Descriptions

  • The test is performed at a U.S. CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory.

  • English clinical report will be issued by a U.S. board-certified medical director.
