What is Non-invasive prenatal testing?
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a revolutionary advance in prenatal screening which can detect genetic material (DNA) from the placenta in a blood test from the mother. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a blood test that can tell you with remarkable accuracy whether your baby is at risk of developing chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome or Patau syndrome, as well as abnormalities with the X and Y sex chromosomes.
What does Non-invasive prenatal - NIPT screen for?
Non-invasive prenatal test - NIPT screens for Down syndrome (trisomy 21-duplicates of chromosome 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18 -duplicates of chromosome 18) and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13 -duplicates of chromosome 13). They cause moderate to profound intellectual disability and are associated with major congenital malformations.
