Projects - RAPID


RAPID - Reliable Accurate Prenatal non-Invasive Diagnosis � is an NIHR (National Institute for Health Research) funded programme which aims to improve the quality of NHS prenatal diagnostic services. GIG�s participation will ensure that the views and needs of parents and patients are properly accounted for well before this new technology reaches the clinic.

The project will evaluate early non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) based on cell free fetal (cff) DNA and RNA extracted from maternal plasma. The project will confirm laboaratory standards, evaluate cost effectiveness, determine parents and health professional views and needs, consider the wider social and ethical issues and develop an education plan for health professionals and the public.

The project will run for five years, starting in June 2009.
