NIPT Test

NIPT, a genetic diagnostic test performed with a small blood sample taken from the mother, gives 99% accuracy in identifying possible genetic diseases (such as Down Syndrome) in your baby before birth. During pregnancy, the 1st trimester screening test, known as screening tests, double test, triple test application and pregnancy follow-up with ultrasonography are recommended to evaluate the baby for chromosomal diseases such as Down Syndrome. Since these do not require surgical procedures, they do not pose a risk for the mother and baby. Amniocentesis and chorionic tissue sampling (CVS), which require a surgical procedure, constitute the other group known as invasive prenatal diagnostic tests, i.e. tests that require surgical intervention.
