Our infographic explores NIPT screening, a non-invasive test for fetal chromosome abnormalities during pregnancy.

NIPT Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing
NIPT is a form of screening test aimed at identifying an unborn baby’s chromosomal abnormalities, which may be indicated by testing the blood of the mother. The test is capable of estimating a child’s risk of Down syndrome along with a number of other significant chromosomal disorders. The test can also determine the child’s gender from its sex chromosomes. Be sure to let your doctor know beforehand if you prefer not to know the baby’s gender. Pregnant women can undergo NIPT screening from around the 10th week of pregnancy onwards.
