What is NIPT?
NIPT stands for Non-Invasive Prenatal Test.
Using very little blood sample from the mother, we will screen Your Baby’s DNA for abnormalities
in all chromosomes. At the same time, it can determine the gender of Your Precious Baby.
At Cytogenomix, we can help you do this test as early as 9 weeks of pregnancy.
Why should I do NIPT?
Normally, there are 46 Chromosomes in all of us. When there is one extra or one missing, it means there is an abnormal chromosome (or Aneuploidy).
Aneuploidy is the main cause of miscarriages1. With advancing age, a woman’s risk of Aneuploidy increases. Recent evidence2 suggests that even amongst younger women in their 20s, cases of Aneuploidy are high. The need for NIPT also increases if one has a family history of Aneuploidy and birth defects.
