Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a blood test performed during pregnancy to screen for the likelihood of certain chromosomal conditions in the developing baby. It analyses cell-free DNA present in the mother’s blood and commonly screens for conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13).
NIPT requires a blood sample from the mother and does not involve a procedure that enters the uterus. It is a screening test, not a diagnostic test, so an abnormal result usually needs further evaluation and diagnostic testing, as advised by a doctor or genetic counsellor
