Genetic Abnormalities Test "NIPT Test"

Comprehensive screening for early detection of chromosomal abnormalities

 What is the NIPT test?

The NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is a non-invasive test performed by taking a simple blood sample from the pregnant mother to analyze fetal DNA present in the mother’s blood.
This test helps with early detection of chromosomal abnormalities such as:

• Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)
• Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18)
• Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13)
• Changes in sex chromosomes (such as Turner syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome)

When is the NIPT test performed?

NIPT is usually performed after the 10th week of pregnancy, and is considered one of the most accurate and safest tests for the fetus, as it does not require any surgical intervention and carries no risks like amniocentesis.

What makes the NIPT test stand out:

 What does the NIPT test detect?

• Numerical chromosomal abnormalities (such as 13, 18, 21)
• Sex chromosome disorders (X and Y)
• In some cases, it may include highly accurate fetal sex determination (optional)

Who are candidates for the NIPT test?

• Pregnant women over the age of 35
• A family history of Down syndrome or other conditions
• A previous pregnancy with a child with chromosomal disorders
• Abnormal results in initial pregnancy screenings
• The mother and father’s desire for early reassurance about the fetus’s health

Accuracy of NIPT results:

Note: NIPT does not replace a confirmed diagnosis if an abnormal result is found, and follow-up with a specialist physician is required.
