But BillionToOne&#8217;s genetic screening just tests the mother&#8217;s blood for the baby&#8217;s genetic information. Because when a mother is pregnant, a tiny bit of the new baby&#8217;s DNA starts to appear in the mother&#8217;s bloodstream. BillionToOne&#8217;s patented prenatal genetic testing removes any risk associated with amniocentesis by checking for that trace DNA in the mother&#8217;s blood.<br><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>BillionToOne&#8217;s patented prenatal genetic testing removes any risk associated with amniocentesis by checking for that trace DNA in the mother&#8217;s blood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And the lower cost of the test makes it much more affordable in emerging economies like China &amp; India where beta thalassemia is a greater risk.<br><br>Don&#8217;t stress about your baby&#8217;s health!
