 Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a highly accurate and safe screening method used during pregnancy to assess the risk of certain genetic conditions in the developing baby. By analyzing small fragments of fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s blood, NIPT can detect common chromosomal abnormalities such as:

• Trisomy      21 (Down syndrome) 
• Trisomy      18 (Edwards syndrome) 
• Trisomy      13 (Patau syndrome) 
• Sex      chromosome aneuploidies (e.g., Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome)
