Cymru yw'r wlad gyntaf yn y DU i gyflwyno Profi Cynenedigol Anfewnwthiol (NIPT) ar draws y wlad gyfan yn ogystal â'r cynnig sgrinio cynenedigol presennol.

Caiff y prawf ei gynnig i fenywod sydd wedi manteisio ar y cynnig cychwynnol  o sgrinio ac y ceir bod eu risg yn uwch o safbwynt syndromau Down, Edward neu Patau.

Cynigir y prawf NIPT fel dewis amgen i brawf mewnwthiol fel y rhan hon o'r llwybr. Gan fod risg o gam\-esgor ynghlwm wrth brawf ymwthiol, disgwylir i gynnig NIPT leihau'r risg hwn gan y disgwylir cynnal llai o brofion mewnwthiol yng Nghymru.

Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd, Vaughan Gething:


> “Mae i'n rhaglen sgrinio cynenedigol ran bwysig o ran rhoi i ddarpar famau'r wybodaeth a'r cymorth y mae arnynt eu hangen drwy gydol eu beichiogrwydd. Rwy'n falch bod Cymru'n arwain y ffordd trwy gynnig NIPT fel rhan o'n rhaglen. Bydd y prawf mwy cywir hwn yn lleihau'r angen am brofion mewnwthiol pellach yn y mwyafrif o achosion, gan leihau nifer y camesgoriadau sy'n gysylltiedig â gweithdrefnau mewnwthiol.”

O ddydd Llun, mae sgrinio cyfun ar gyfer syndromau Edward a Patau yn y tri mis cyntaf i fenywod sy'n cael un babi, a sgrinio cyfun ar gyfer syndromau Down, Edward a Patau yn y tri mis cyntaf mewn achosion lle mae'r fenyw yn disgwyl gefeilliaid hefyd yn cael ei gyflwyno yng Nghymru. 

Mae'r penderfyniad i roi NIPT ar waith yng Nghymru'n dilyn cyngor arbenigol oddi wrth Bwyllgor Sgrinio Cenedlaethol y DU. Caiff ei werthuso dros y tair blynedd nesaf.

Dywedodd Sharon Hillier, Cyfarwyddwr Sgrinio, Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru:


> “Mae'n bwysig bod menywod yn cael eu cefnogi gyda gwybodaeth am y cyflyrau a'r sgrinio sy'n cael ei gynnig er mwyn iddyn nhw wneud y penderfyniad cywir ynghylch ydyn nhw am dderbyn y cynnig hwn.
> 
> “Rydyn ni wedi cydweithio'n agos ag elusennau a gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol i wella'r llwybr a'r wybodaeth yr ydyn ni'n ei rhoi i fenywod beichiog yng Nghymru.
> 
> “Rydyn ni wedi achub y cyfle i ddiweddaru'r wybodaeth ysgrifenedig cyn y prawf yn ogystal â'i chynhyrchu fel ffilm fer. Mae gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol sy'n trafod y sgrinio gyda menywod wedi cael hyfforddiant sydd wedi canolbwyntio ar ddewis personol a gwybodaeth gyfoes am y cyflyrau y mae'r sgrinio'n chwilio amdanynt.”

Wales is the first UK nation to introduce Non\-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) across the whole country as an addition to the existing antenatal screening offer. 

The test will be offered to women who have taken up the initial offer of screening and are found to be at a higher chance of Down’s, Edward’s or Patau’s syndrome. 

The NIPT test is offered as an alternative to an invasive test as this part of the pathway. As an invasive test has a small risk of miscarriage, offering NIPT is expected to reduce this risk as fewer invasive tests are expected to be undertaken in Wales.

The Health Secretary, Vaughan Gething said:


> “Our antenatal screening programme plays an important role in providing expectant mothers with the information and support they need throughout their pregnancy. I’m pleased Wales is leading the way by offering NIPT as part of our programme. This more accurate test will reduce the need of further invasive tests in most cases, therefore reducing the incidence of miscarriages related to invasive procedures.”

From Monday, combined screening for Edward’s and Patau’s in the first trimester for women having one baby, and combined screening for Down’s, Edward’s and Patau’s in the first trimester for twin pregnancies, are also introduced in Wales. 

The decision to implement NIPT in Wales follows expert advice from the UK National Screening Committee. Its introduction will be evaluated over the next three years.

Sharon Hillier; Director of Screening for Public Health Wales, said:


> “It is important that women are supported with information about the conditions and the screening offered so they can make the right decision for them as to whether they want to accept this offer.
> 
> “We have worked closely with parents, charities and health professionals to improve the pathway and the information that we provide to pregnant women in Wales.
> 
> “We’ve taken the opportunity to update the pre\-test written information as well as producing it as a short film. Health professionals involved in discussing the screening with women have undertaken training which has focused on personalised choice and up to date information on the conditions screened for.”
