Novo-NIPT is a safe, simple and highly accurate blood test that detects the risk of certain genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome, from as early as ten weeks of your pregnancy.
Is Novo-NIPT right for you?
NIPT should be offered to all pregnants regardless of maternal age or risk of chromosomal abnormality, or family history, according to the international guidlines. Each pregnant has the option of pursuing or declining prenatal genetic screening.
This test is screening and not diagnostic.
How does it work?
During pregnancy, some fragments of the foetal DNA circulate in the maternal blood and are detectable starting from the 7th week of gestation. The circulating foetal DNA quantity increases with the increasing gestational period, and from the 10th week of gestation it is sufficient to guarantee a high specific and sensitive result of the NIPT screening test.
