The NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) Screen is an advanced screening test performed during pregnancy to evaluate the risk of certain genetic and chromosomal conditions in the fetus. It analyses small fragments of fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s blood.
This test is highly sensitive and is commonly used to screen for conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13. It may also provide information about fetal sex chromosomes.
