NIPT Test Screen for Fetal Chromosomal Abnormalities with a Safe, Non-Invasive Method—No Amniocentesis Needed
Know in advance to plan your pregnancy with confidence
Pregnancy is a significant journey filled with the hopes of the family. Knowing the health of your baby early in the pregnancy helps you prepare with confidence, safety, and informed decisions.
NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is one of the advanced technologies that screens for fetal chromosomal abnormalities by taking a small blood sample from the mother, without the risks associated with amniocentesis, reducing anxiety while providing highly accurate results.
What is NIPT Test?
NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is a non-invasive screening test that analyzes the cell-free fetal DNA (cfDNA) circulating in the mother’s bloodstream.
This test can screen for chromosomal abnormalities such as:
- Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
- Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)
- Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)
- Sex chromosome abnormalities
- Fetal sex (if desired)
How is the Test Done?
- A blood sample is drawn from the mother (approximately 10 mL).
- The sample is then analyzed using advanced technologies like NGS (Next Generation Sequencing).
- Results will be available within 7–14 days.
Preparation for the Test
- No fasting required before the test
- Testing can be done from 10 weeks of pregnancy onwards
- Please inform your doctor about any pregnancy history, previous miscarriages, or family history of fetal abnormalities
- If pregnant with twins, inform your doctor to assess the suitability
Why Should You Get Tested?
- Screen for common chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus
- Know the fetal sex accurately early in the pregnancy (if desired)
- Reduce the need for amniocentesis, which carries a risk to the fetus
- Increase confidence in managing the pregnancy and planning for ongoing care
- Provide safety and assurance for the family
Who Should Get Tested?
- All pregnant women, especially those over the age of 35
- Those with a family history of genetic disorders
- Women who have experienced unexplained miscarriages
- Couples with a history of having a child with chromosomal abnormalities
- Pregnant women who do not wish to undergo the risks associated with amniocentesis
