About Natera:

Natera (formerly Gene Security Network) is a growing molecular diagnostics company that helps families have healthy kids. We have developed a proprietary bioinformatics technology (Parental Support) to deliver accurate and comprehensive high throughput testing for reproductive indications from tiny quantities of child DNA - as small as that from a single cell. GSN operates a CLIA laboratory in Redwood City, CA, providing a host of preconception and prenatal genetic testing services based on Parental Support. Test offerings include pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, used by IVF doctors to detect chromosomal abnormalities or inherited genetic conditions and select embryos most likely to result in a healthy pregnancy; products of conception testing, used by obstetricians to rapidly analyze products of conception following miscarriage in order to understand the cause; and non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, currently under clinical trial, to detect fetal chromosomal anomalies in the first trimester using a standard blood draw from the mother.
