Controversial Down's syndrome testing gets Swiss go-ahead - Yahoo!

Testing will be available in the country from mid-August following a decision by Swissmedic, the national agency for therapeutic products. The test, developed by life sciences company LifeCodexx, involves screening pregnant women's blood samples for the presence of foetal Down's syndrome, which is also known as trisomy 21.
