Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a screening test used to screen for the chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus using maternal blood during pregnancy. It can be done after the 10th week of gestation and screens for major chromosomal abnormalities and gender. It utilizes cell-free fetal DNA from the placenta, which increases in amount as the gestational age progresses.
G-NIPT screens for major chromosomal aneuploidies like Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, and Patau syndrome (trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13) with extension up to 50 microdeletions/duplications. While G-NIPT provides high accuracy, it is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. If higher risk is indicated, additional diagnostic testing such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling may be recommended for confirmation.
It is recommended from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) to have all pregnant women shall be offered both screening and diagnostic testing options, regardless of maternal age and risk of chromosomal abnormality.
