- NIPT, or Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing, is a medical procedure used during pregnancy to screen for certain genetic conditions in the developing foetus
- It involves analyzing cell-free DNA from the mother’s bloodstream to assess the risk of genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13), as well as other chromosomal disorders
- NIPT is considered non-invasive because it doesn’t require invasive procedures like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). It is typically performed around the 10th to 13th week of pregnancy and provides a high level of accuracy in identifying these genetic conditions
- However, it’s important to note that NIPT is a screening test, and any positive results should be confirmed with further diagnostic testing.
