NIPT Test
Down Syndrome Screening Test for pregnant women
Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT), also known as Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS), is a test for pregnant women to screen the risk of their baby being born with certain genetic disorders. The test analyzes the baby's DNA that has been passed to the mother's bloodstream during pregnancy. The NIPT Test primarily analyzes the risk of Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13).
A NIPT Test is carried out by simply drawing blood from the mother after 10 weeks into pregnancy. The NIPT Test can reveal the baby's gender during the first trimester, while traditional ultrasound can reveal the gender during the second trimester.

A NIPT testing is necessary when the parents want to know the risk of the fetal chromosomes, and is also known for the detection of Down Syndrome, a popular chromosome abnormality which could be found. Previously, for women who are over 35 years old it was recommended to test for Down Syndrome as there is a higher risk with the pregnancy, which was carried out through Amniocentesis. However, with today's technology, the NIPT test is carried out via a blood sample, reducing the risk to the pregnancy and baby.
