Why is Lumipeek one of the most reliable non-invasive prenatal tests?
How does the Lumipeek test work?
Lumipeek requires only a small sample of venous blood (10 ml). During pregnancy, your baby's DNA enters your blood through the placenta. From the 10th week of pregnancy, there is enough baby DNA in your blood to perform a whole genome analysis.
More reliable than traditional screening tests (double test, ultrasound)
Compared to traditional screening tests (double test, ultrasound), Lumipeek provides a higher level of detection and a lower rate of false positive results. In this way, fewer expectant mothers undergo invasive diagnostic procedures. NIPT testing has significantly reduced the need for invasive testing.
The double test is reliable only up to 80% in detecting chromosomal abnormalities. This means that out of 100 women carrying a baby with Down syndrome, the double test will identify only 80 of them, while the reliability of the Lumipeek test is over 99%.
Safer than amniocentesis
In comparison to amniocentesis - the most commonly performed prenatal diagnostic procedure - NIPT is a screening test. The main advantage of screening is its non-invasiveness; it carries no risk for either the mother or the baby. Amniocentesis is an invasive procedure and carries a certain risk of miscarriage.

To ensure complete professional support and the highest quality service, we collaborate only with experienced, recognized experts in the field of clinical genetics.
Is Lumipeek the right choice for me?
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has published guidelines titled 'Considerations for Fetal Chromosomal Abnormalities' (October 2020), recommending that all pregnant women undergo NIPT, emphasizing that NIPT is the prenatal screening method with the highest sensitivity and specificity.
Lumipeek is suitable for every expectant mother who:
wants to enjoy peace and security during pregnancy,
- has a family history of chromosomal abnormalities,
- has results from other first-trimester screening tests that showed high risk,
- is 35 years old or older, which significantly increases the risk of Down syndrome. However, most other chromosomal abnormalities can occur regardless of the mother's age.
Lumipeek is also suitable for twin pregnancies and pregnancies resulting from in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Where can I do the Lumipeek test?
You can provide a sample for the Lumipeek test at 42 partner laboratories. After scheduling an appointment, our representative will contact you to find the nearest available clinic.
I did the double test which showed everything is fine. Is that enough?
The double test includes an ultrasound examination, measuring the nuchal translucency, and calculating the risk of chromosomal abnormalities. The sensitivity of this method can be up to 80% for the most common trisomies (Down, Edwards, and Patau syndromes), while the sensitivity of the Lumipeek test is over 99%. The double test detects only the three most common trisomies, while the Lumipeek test also detects a range of other chromosomal abnormalities that may not be visible on ultrasound. However, it is recommended to also undergo nuchal translucency measurement alongside the Lumipeek test, as it can detect anomalies that are not the result of genetic abnormalities.
How reliable is the Lumipeek test?
The latest genetic analysis technology enables the detection of over 99% of the most common trisomies (Down, Edwards, and Patau syndromes). The sensitivity of the test has been confirmed in NIPT validation studies. In detecting trisomies 21, 18, and 13, as well as sex chromosome aneuploidies, this sensitivity exceeds 99%, but it has not yet been confirmed for deletions and duplications because the number of such cases is limited, making it impossible to conduct appropriate statistical analysis. If desired, Lumipeek can also determine the gender of the baby with almost 100% accuracy.

If desired, Lumipeek can also determine the gender of the baby with almost 100% accuracy.
What is the basis of the Lumipeek test?
This is a modern, non-invasive prenatal genetic analysis of your baby. The sample for this analysis is a small amount of maternal venous blood, only 10ml. In the initial steps of the analysis, fetal DNA (baby's DNA) is isolated from the mother's blood. This isolated baby's blood is then analyzed using Illumina technology.
How does the Lumipeek test differ from other prenatal tests?
The Lumipeek by GenePlanet test stands out due to its safety for both the mother and the baby, as well as its wide range of abnormalities it analyzes. It has a high detection rate with a low rate of false positive results. This helps reduce the need for invasive methods.
Is the Lumipeek test recommended for every pregnant woman?
Every pregnant woman should ideally undergo the Lumipeek test. However, the test is particularly recommended for pregnant women who have an increased risk of having a child with a genetic disorder. High risk factors include maternal age, family medical history, poor results from other prenatal tests, or concerning findings from ultrasound scans.
What information does the Lumipeek test provide?
The obtained results depend on the selected package.
The Lumipeek BASIC allows for the early detection of many genetic disorders, including trisomies 21, 18, 13 (Down, Edwards, and Patau syndromes), along with the detection of sex chromosome aneuploidies (Turner, Klinefelter, and Jacob syndromes, triple X syndrome).
In every package, if you wish, you can also find out the gender of the baby.
In the Lumipeek ADVANCED and PREMIUM packages, in addition to the information provided in the BASIC package, you receive information about microdeletions and microduplications. It's important to note that Lumipeek Premium provides information on all microdeletions/duplications >7M.
Does Lumipeek provide information about the gender of the baby?
Yes, the Lumipeek test allows for early determination of the baby's gender. This information is available in every testing package.
How reliable are the results of the Lumipeek test?
The Lumipeek test relies on Illumina technology. It's an extremely accurate method that provides almost complete certainty in the case of the most common genetic disorders (99%). It's important to note that in the case of abnormal Lumipeek test results, it may be necessary to conduct an invasive test to confirm the results.
When is it advisable to undergo the Lumipeek NIPT test?
The Lumipeek test is recommended for pregnant women seeking additional information about their baby's genetic health, especially if they have an increased risk of genetic disorders. It's also advised for pregnant women who have received concerning results from other prenatal tests or ultrasound scans. If there is a family history of genetic diseases or if the pregnant woman is over 35 years old, the Lumipeek test may be beneficial in providing additional information and ensuring greater peace of mind during pregnancy.
How does the testing process look?
Lumipeek provides complete safety for the pregnant woman and the baby, without exposing them to any risk. It only requires selecting the appropriate package and providing a sample of just 10 ml of venous blood. The results will be available within 2 to 5 days after sending the sample to the laboratory in Germany.
Does the Lumipeek test detect heart defects?
The Lumipeek test focuses on detecting certain genetic disorders, such as trisomies and specific microdeletions and microduplications of chromosomes. It is not designed to detect heart defects or other specific anomalies. Imaging studies, such as ultrasound, are typically used for diagnosing heart and other structural defects.
Is it important to do the Lumipeek test?
The test has several advantages - it's non-invasive, accurate, and allows for early detection of certain genetic abnormalities. It will bring peace of mind to the pregnant woman and a more carefree pregnancy, or assist in the next steps related to the baby's future.
How much do Lumipeek tests cost?
The standard price of the Lumipeek test is 410 euros for the basic version (BASIC). The more comprehensive the package, the higher the price. The ADVANCE package costs 530 euros, while the Lumipeek PREMIUM is priced at 600 euros. Individuals interested in undergoing complex testing can pay these amounts in installments. Currently, the first 100 expectant mothers receive a 10% discount.
Does the Lumipeek test provide reliable results?
The Lumipeek test provides highly accurate results with a reliability of over 99.9%. There is a small margin for error, especially in situations requiring further confirmation of the results. It is important to note that the interpretation of the test results is the responsibility of the experts, and any uncertainties can be clarified with additional diagnostic tests if necessary.
What is better - amniocentesis or Lumipeek?
The Lumipeek test, which relies on Illumina technology, offers a non-invasive approach with less risk for the mother and baby compared to invasive methods such as amniocentesis, which carries potential complications, including the risk of miscarriage. It is important to note that while amniocentesis provides more precise results, a positive outcome from the Lumipeek test can avoid this invasive procedure. The decision on which test to choose should be carefully made in consultation with a doctor.
What does the Lumipeek test analyze?
The Lumipeek test with Illumina technology analyzes various genetic conditions, including the most common trisomies such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13). In addition to these, it analyzes differences in sex chromosomes, such as Turner, Klinefelter, Triple X, and Jacob syndromes. The Advanced and Premium packages also analyze microdeletion syndromes. Each package provides information about the baby's sex and a comprehensive insight into its genetic health.

What is Lumipeek and how does it differ from other prenatal tests?
Lumipeek is a non-invasive prenatal test used for early detection of genetic disorders in pregnancy. It differs from other prenatal tests in that it is non-invasive, meaning it does not require sampling of amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sampling, as is the case with some other methods. Instead, Lumipeek uses analysis of fetal DNA found in the mother's blood. This method reduces the risk of complications compared to invasive procedures.
Additionally, Lumipeek is based on Illumina technology, which provides high accuracy in detecting genetic abnormalities. This test can provide early and reliable information about the health of the fetus, enabling pregnant women to make informed decisions about further medical treatment or pregnancy planning.
How the Lumipeek test works?
Lumipeek is a genetic test that enables the detection of many genetic diseases even in early pregnancy. Reliable results can be obtained as early as the 10th week! This test consists of sequencing genetic material present in the mother's blood. This procedure allows for the identification of any abnormalities in the fetus's DNA. Therefore, conducting the Lumipeek test carries no risk of side effects and complications often associated with invasive testing.
The technology behind the Lumipeek test - Illumina
Illumina uses a technique called Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for DNA analysis. In NGS, DNA is first fragmented into smaller pieces, and then adapters are added to those fragments. The DNA fragments are then amplified and sequenced in parallel, generating a vast amount of short DNA sequences known as "reads." These reads are then aligned with a reference genome, and the sequencing data are analyzed to identify genetic variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and structural variations.
The testing process
Lumipeek genetic testing begins with collecting a sample of venous blood from the pregnant woman. This can be done as early as the 10th week of pregnancy. Some expectant mothers choose to do this somewhat later, between the 12th and 16th weeks of pregnancy. The sample is then analyzed in a German laboratory, where the sequencing process takes place. Test results are typically available within 2 to 5 business days.
Which diseases does the Lumipeek test detect?
Prenatal testing with Lumipeek, based on Illumina technology, can detect various genetic and chromosomal abnormalities. This includes:
Trisomies: For example, the test can detect trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), and others.
X chromosome disorders: This includes various conditions related to the X chromosome, such as Turner syndrome.
Microdeletions and microduplications: Tests based on Illumina technology can also detect minor changes in chromosomes that may be associated with various genetic diseases.
It is important to note that the scope of detected abnormalities depends on the chosen testing package. We recommend consulting with our advisor who can provide more detailed information about the breadth and accuracy of a specific prenatal test with Lumipeek.
What are the differences between Lumipeek™ BASIC, Lumipeek™ ADVANCED, and Lumipeek™ PREMIUM packages?

When is it important to do the Lumipeek test?
There are no contraindications for conducting this test, especially since it only involves taking a sample of venous blood. The Lumipeek test can be performed by any expectant mother who wants to check the risk of trisomies and other genetic disorders in her child. In this way, she dispels her doubts in the early weeks of pregnancy and then enjoys her pregnancy. Conducting this test is particularly recommended when:
- the pregnant woman is 35 years old or older - as age increases, the risk of trisomies 13, 18, and 21 in the child increases;
- genetic disorders have already occurred in the family history;
- screening tests in the first trimester have shown abnormalities.
Results of the Lumipeek by GenePlanet test
As mentioned earlier, the Lumipeek test is a non-invasive examination that provides 99 percent accuracy. Results are available within 5 business days. In the case of a negative result, invasive tests are not required. However, irregular results should be confirmed by conducting amniocentesis. The procedure involves taking a small amount of amniotic fluid containing fetal cells. This is achieved using thin needles inserted through the mother's abdominal wall.
