NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) blood tests are safe and non-Invasive screening tests that use DNA found in your blood to detect chromosomal anomalies in your baby, and their gender, from the earliest weeks of your pregnancy.
MOST COMMON DISORDERS
Our genetic health tests are called NIPT tests, or Non-Invasive Prenatal Tests. An NIPT is a blood test taken from the mother during pregnancy, using state of the art DNA technology to check whether the baby has high risks of certain chromosomal health conditions.
During pregnancy the placenta sheds cell free DNA (cfDNA) into the mother’s bloodstream. This means that the mother’s blood continues a mixture of your own DNA, and that of your baby’s placenta. By extracting and evaluating the cfDNA in your blood, we can identify the risk to your baby of a range of health conditions and diseases.
Suitable for women of all ages, of at least 10 weeks of gestation (at the time of their blood draw appointment), who have had their pregnancy type (single or twin) previously confirmed by an ultrasound scan. The pregnancy can be naturally conceived or through IVF.
