Description
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)
NIPT is a safe and highly accurate screening test that analyzes a small sample of the mother’s blood to detect certain genetic conditions in the developing baby. This advanced test can be performed as early as the 10th week of pregnancy and carries no risk to the mother or baby.
What NIPT Screens For:
-
Chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13)
-
Sex chromosome conditions (e.g., Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome)
-
Determination of the baby’s gender (optional)
Why Choose NIPT:
-
Safe: Non-invasive and requires only a simple blood draw
-
Early: Can be done from 10 weeks of pregnancy
-
Accurate: High detection rates with minimal false positives
-
Peace of mind: Early insight into your baby’s health
Who Should Consider NIPT:
-
Women who are 35 years or older during pregnancy
-
Those with abnormal ultrasound findings or previous chromosomal conditions in the family
-
Expectant parents seeking early, reliable information about their baby’s health
Sample Requirement: 10 ml maternal blood
Reporting Time: 7–10 business days
Note: NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. Positive results should be confirmed with further diagnostic testing such as amniocentesis or CVS.
