NIPD A Novel Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis for Genetic Disorders

Coordinator: NIPD GENETICS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED (CY)

Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis (NIPD) has been one of the most fascinating research fields during the last decade. The identification of small amounts of fetal DNA in maternal circulation has opened new possibilities for NIPD. Up until today, two methods have achieved accurate and validated NIPD methods for trisomy 21. The first NIPD for trisomy 21 was based on next generation sequencing and the second was developed by our group and is based on a MeDIP real time qPCR. However, nothing has been achieved for the NIPD of other genomic disorders caused by pathogenic copy number changes or mutati…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €2.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2013-05-01 to 2019-04-30.
