Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT)

Non-invasive Prenatal Testing or NIPT, involves a simple blood screening procedure to analyse the cell-free DNA to check your baby’s risks for various genetic disorders, including Down Syndrome.

An NIPT screening cannot determine whether your baby has actually got a chromosomal disorder but is highly accurate on discounting the probability of having a condition and is
97 to 99% accurate for the three most common conditions.

Once the results of the NIPT are back, the doctor will pair them with the results of the first-trimester or nuchal translucency screening to determine whether further testing is needed.

Further diagnostic tests such as genetic tests can analyse the baby’s own genetic material, collected from the amniotic fluid or placenta, and give a 99.9% certainty as to whether your baby has any chromosome abnormalities.
