NIPT

At AVA Clinics and Fetal Centre, we understand that pregnancy is a time filled with anticipation and excitement, as well as a range of emotions and questions. To provide you with the highest level of care and the most accurate information, we offer Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), a state-of-the-art screening designed to assess the risk of certain genetic conditions in your baby with minimal risk to both mother and child.

What is NIPT?

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a revolutionary blood test that analyzes small fragments of fetal DNA circulating in a pregnant woman’s blood. This test is used to evaluate the risk of your baby having certain genetic conditions, including Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13. Unlike invasive testing methods such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS), NIPT poses no risk of miscarriage and is highly accurate.

Why Choose NIPT?

Accuracy and Reliability: NIPT boasts a high sensitivity and specificity for detecting common chromosomal conditions. It significantly reduces the likelihood of false positives compared to other screening methods.
Early Detection: This test can be performed as early as the 10th week of pregnancy, allowing you to receive results well before the second trimester.
Non-Invasive: As a blood test, NIPT is completely non-invasive, posing no risk to the fetus or mother, unlike invasive procedures which may carry a risk of miscarriage.
Comprehensive Results: NIPT provides a detailed analysis of the likelihood of certain genetic conditions, helping you make informed decisions and prepare for the future with confidence.

How Does the NIPT Process Work?

Sample Collection: A simple blood sample is taken from the mother, usually at around 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Laboratory Analysis: The blood sample is sent to our accredited laboratory, where the fetal DNA is analyzed for chromosomal abnormalities.
Results: Results are typically available within 1-2 weeks. Our experienced genetic counselors will review the findings with you and discuss the next steps.

Can NIPT detect all genetic conditions?

While NIPT is highly effective for screening common chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome, it does not detect all genetic disorders. It is a screening tool and not a diagnostic test. For further diagnostic testing, consult with your healthcare provider.

How accurate is NIPT?

NIPT has a high accuracy rate, with sensitivity and specificity exceeding 99% for conditions like Down syndrome. However, it is important to discuss the results and any concerns with your healthcare provider to fully understand their implications.
