TOMORROW Prenatal Test is CGC Genetics’ solution for non-invasive prenatal
testing. This is a non-invasive method that tests for fetal trisomy of chromosomes
21, 18 and 13, to identify fetal gender and to detect aneuploidies of sex
chromosomes (monosomy X, XXX, XXY, XYY).
EARLY DETECTION
Test can be performed as early as 10 weeks of gestation.
SIMPLE
Only a simple blood collection is required, with no prior preparation.
SAFE
Performing the test has no risk of miscarriage, commonly associated with invasive methods.
TURNAROUND TIME
Report ready in 6 business days on average (max 10).
TWIN PREGNANCY
Trisomy detection for chromosomes 21, 18 and 13 can also be performed in twin pregnancies (two fetuses).
IVF/EGG DONATION
TOMORROW Prenatal Test can be performed in IVF/egg donations.

GYNECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS
FETAL FRACTION
Includes fraction of fetal DNA estimated to be present in the analyzed sample, in accordance with the latest recommendation of
the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG).
RELIABLE TEST
There are important differences between noninvasive prenatal tests that you should take into account in your decision.
TOMORROW is an accurate test with a false positive and false negative rate of less than 0.5%.
Sensitivity Specificity
Trisomy 21 99.14% 99.94%
Trisomy 18 98.31% 99.90%
Trisomy 13 98.15% 99.95%
Monosomy X 95.00% 99.00%
MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
TOMORROW uses state-of-the-art genetic analysis technology: the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze circulating free
DNA in maternal blood. From a sample of maternal blood, the circulating DNA, maternal and fetal-placental DNA, is sequenced
and the number of specific sequences of each of the chromosomes of interest is determined. A complex bioinformatic analysis
allows the copy-number of each of the chromosomes of interest to be calculated.
FREE OF CHARGE CONFIRMATION
In case of increased risk, confirmation of the result with invasive prenatal testing is recommended. For such cases, CGC Genetics
provides QF-PCR analysis (24-48 hours), and chromosome analysis (karyotype). Confirmation analyzes in these cases are
performed free of charge.
PLEASE NOTE:
TOMORROW Prenatal Test is not available in USA, Canada, China and Japan.

GYNECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS
For Gynecology and Obstetrics, CGC Genetics offers a list of tests integrated in
multiple aspects:
Prenatal Diagnosis
• Array CGH. Chromosomal analysis through a microarray, or array CGH, is a high
resolution analytical method that allows a detailed study of the whole genome, and
can detect deletions and duplications not visible under the microscope. The solution
provided by CGC Genetics has the highest analytical resolution along with the clinical
interpretation of results ensured by our medical geneticists.
We have array CGH with the resolution that best suits cases of prenatal diagnosis.
International recommendations on the use of this prenatal test are:
> Structural ultrasound abnormalities;
> Increased nuchal translucency;
> Apparently balanced translocations and inversions, and other structural chromosomal rearrangements;
> Family studies - search for familial microdeletions /microduplications in the fetus.
• NGS panels. CGC Genetics has several NGS panels available which allow, in a single test, to sequence several genes associated
with a pathology or phenotype. In particular for prenatal diagnosis, we provide the following NGS panels:
> Craniosynostoses (NGS panel for 5 genes),
> Noonan syndrome and Noonan spectrum (NGS panel for 9 genes),
> Skeletal dysplasias (NGS panel for 6 genes).
• Chromosome Analysis (Karyotype) in amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sample.
• QF-PCR (Quantitative Fluorescence Polymerase Chain Reaction) for fast testing of the most frequent aneuploidies (on
chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y) in amniotic fluid or chorionic villus.
• Familial genetic studies - search for familial mutations in the fetus
• Genetic diagnosis - in the presence of structural alterations compatible with specific genetic disease.
Combined Prenatal Screening
The prenatal screening allows the identification of pregnant women at increased risk for major trisomies: 21, 18 and 13. This
test combines values of biochemical parameters (free ßhCG and PAPP-A) with echographic parameters (nuchal translucency and
nasal bones).
Oncology, including Breast Cancer
• Sequencing analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes
• Del/Dup analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes
• Familial mutations of hereditary cancer
• Sequencing panel for 10 genes associated with breast / ovarian cancer
• Sequencing panel for 26 genes associated with breast / ovarian cancer
Embryofetal Pathology
This laboratory preferably performs examinations in the areas of obstetric surgical pathology and autopsy, namely:
• Early abortion: embryo and gestational sac (<11 weeks)
• Placenta
• Fetal / neonatal autopsy (> 11 weeks)
• Surgical specimens (ectopic pregnancy and uterine pathology of pregnancy)

Infertility
• Etiologic study of infertility (premature ovarian failure, Y chromosome microdeletions, congenital bilateral agenesis of vas
deferens, 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and peripheral blood karyotype)
• Thrombophilia study
