Overview
About NIPS
Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS) is a revolutionary advancement in prenatal care that utilises cutting-edge technology to analyse cell-free foetal DNA present in the mother's blood.
Early Pregnancy Chromosomal Abnormality Detection: Detect chromosomal abnormalities in the early stages of pregnancy.
Non-Invasive Alternative: Avoid invasive procedures like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling.
Informed Decision-Making: Gain peace of mind and make informed decisions regarding your pregnancy.
Who should get tested
NIPS is recommended for all pregnant women, irrespective of age or risk factors. It provides valuable information about the baby's genetic health. Although mostly recommended for:
Maternal
age over 35
Previous pregnancy with chromosomal abnormalities
Positive results from other prenatal screening tests
Family history of
genetic disorders
No special preparations are required.
Evaluating NIPS Test Results
NIPS report provides you with the information which shows whether the baby is at a low-risk or high-risk of having chromosomal aneuploidies.
