Non-Invasive Prenatal Tests (NIPT) 

Combination of Maternal Blood ,(+/- ) Paternal Buccal Swab and Detailed Scan
NIPT – Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing In 1997, the presence of cell-free foetal DNA (cffDNA) in the maternal circulation was reported. Cell-free fetal DNA comes from the placenta, can be detected in the maternal blood from 10 weeks gestational age.NIPT is most reliable at assessing the chance of a fetus having Down’s Syndrome and also is an effective screening test for Edward’s and Patau’s Syndromes. Fetal sex can be determined from NIPT through the identification of the Y chromosome. This can be used to determine fetal sex in women whose fetus is at risk of an x-linked disorder, where the early determination of male fetus indicates the need for an invasive diagnostic test to determine whether the affected x-chromosome has been inherited. An invasive test is not required if the fetus is female. In pregnancies at risk of sex-linked conditions, NIPT with an ultrasound scan has been shown to reduce the use of invasive diagnostic testing by nearly 50% and has been approved by the UK Genetic Testing Network

This is a non-invasive prenatal test that assesses the risk for chromosome conditions such as Down Syndrome (T21), Edwards Syndrome (T18), Patau Syndrome (T13) and options for sex chromosome aneuploidies.
