What is NIPT/ NIPS
Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening test (NIPS) is a cutting-adge test that analyses cell-free DNA from your baby, which circulates in mother’s blood. This test can be done as early as the 10th Week of pregnancy and involves simple blood draw from the mother, posing no risk to baby. NIPS screens for certain chromosomal disorders, providing early and accurate information about your baby’s health.

Why Consider NIPT for Pregnancy?
• Identifies Chromosomal Abnormalities:
Helps detect serious chromosomal issues early.
• Reassurance for Parents:
Provides peace of mind to expecting parents.
• Informs Genetic Health Management:
Early information enables better management of a child's genetic health.
• Preparation for Birth:
Facilitates early intervention where necessary.
When to Perform NIPT Pregnancy Test?
• The screening can be conducted as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy.
Who Needs to Get Tested?
• Recommended for all pregnant women seeking insights into fetal development, regardless of age.
• Medical societies endorse NIPT as a first-line screening for all pregnancies, regardless of risk.
Particularly advisable for women who:
• Are over 30 years of age.
• Have abnormal serum screening results.
• Show certain abnormalities in ultrasound.
• Have a family history of chromosomal disorders or birth defects.
• Have previously had a child with a chromosomal condition.

No, a NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test) is not painful. It involves a simple blood draw from the mother's arm, similar to routine blood tests. This test poses no risk to the mother or baby and provides accurate
No, NIPT does not confirm pregnancy but it definitely gives an idea. It is used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus after pregnancy is already confirmed. It helps detect conditions like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome (in the baby) in early pregnancy.
NIPT is highly accurate, with a detection rate of over 99% for certain chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome. So, Diagnostic testing like amniocentesis may be recommended for confirmation.
If NIPT results are positive, indicating a potential chromosomal abnormality, further diagnostic testing such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is typically recommended to confirm the diagnosis. Jaipur Molecular Lab will guide you on the possible solutions further.
