Doesn't SQNM's MaterniT21 test do this very same thing?

Yes, Sequenom’s technology is similar to that of Verinata's. Both do massively parallel shotgun sequencing of free DNA in maternal plasma (Ariosa and Natera use different methods). On aneuploidies for chromosomes 21, 18, and 13, which are the major ones, differences in Sensitivity/Specificity are relatively small. Price on the other hand, is quite different...
