Non Invasive Prenatal Testing - NIPT (5 Days)

Prince Muhammad Bin Abdulaziz Rd As Sulimaniyah, Riyadh - 145KM

Non-invasive prenatal tests, or NIPTs, are primarily used as a means of screening fetuses for genetic abnormalities. These tests involve taking a small sample of blood, which is then sent to a lab to examine cell-free DNA, or cfDNA—a type of DNA that originates in the placenta and contains genetic information about your baby.

NIPTs are usually offered to pregnant women who are at risk of giving birth to a baby with chromosomal or genetic disorders like Down Syndrome, Edwards syndrome, or Patau syndrome. Risk factors include:

Having a history of pregnancies with chromosomal abnormalities
Having a personal or family history of chromosomal abnormalities

However, because NIPTs examine the fetus’ sex chromosomes, they can also determine gender.
NIPTs may be offered as early as 10 weeks into your pregnancy, with NIPT test results typically arriving within 5 days.
