The NIPT test (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is a highly accurate and safe screening method used to detect certain genetic conditions in a developing baby, such as Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13. Performed through a simple blood draw from the mother, the test analyzes fetal DNA to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, without any harm to the baby. Recommended as early as the 10th week of pregnancy, the NIPT test offers peace of mind to expecting parents and helps doctors make informed decisions about further care and testing.
