About the Non Invasive Prenatal Screening Test - NIPT/NIPS

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a screening test that is used to assess the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities in a developing fetus. NIPT is typically performed during the first or second trimester of pregnancy / gestational age 11 to 17 weeks, and is used to screen for conditions such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), trisomy 13, and trisomy 18.

NIPT is a blood test that analyzes fetal DNA that is present in the mother's bloodstream. The test is considered to be non-invasive because it does not involve any risk to the fetus and does not require a procedure such as amniocentesis (a procedure in which a sample of amniotic fluid is taken for testing).

NIPT can provide valuable information about the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities in a developing fetus. If the NIPT results indicate an increased risk of a chromosomal abnormality, the healthcare provider may recommend further testing to confirm the diagnosis.

NIPT test is offered in three variants -

NIPT Basic
NIPT Advance
NIPT Basic Twin

NIPT does not test for the gender of the fetus

Whats the difference between NIPT Basic v/s NIPT Advanced

Basic screens for 5 Chromosomes

Advanced screens for 22 Chromosomes

Accuracy and Results of NIPT Test

The accuracy of NIPT depends on several factors, including the stage of pregnancy, the specific condition being tested for, and the specific NIPT test being used.

Overall, NIPT has a high sensitivity (the ability to correctly identify individuals with the condition being tested for) and a high negative predictive value (the ability to correctly identify individuals without the condition). This means that NIPT is very good at identifying women who are at low risk of having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality.

There are several different NIPT tests available, and the specific test used will determine the results of the test. In general, NIPT results are reported as low risk or high risk for a specific chromosomal abnormality.

If the NIPT results indicate a low risk for a chromosomal abnormality, it means that the risk of the baby having the condition is very low. If the NIPT results indicate a high risk for a chromosomal abnormality, it means that the risk of the baby having the condition is higher than average

While not all tests are 100% accurate, the NIPT test will be able to provide critical insights on your pre-screening risk. You can get further testing done to determine whether your foetus is testing positive for a specific condition.

How is NIPT test performed

The NIPT test is performed at a National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) certified laboratory. The sample collection is done at your residence, making it a highly convenient way of screening.

The blood sample is collected in a streak tube, about 10 ml, and your sample is then sent for quality testing and analysis. The technician will require basic details, such as Ultra Sound report (USG), Dual and Quadruple Marker Report, Photo Identification Proof, etc.

Is NIPT recommended for all pregnant women?

NIPT is not recommended for all pregnant women, but it may be offered to women who are at increased risk of having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality due to their age or other risk factors. It is important to discuss the benefits and limitations of NIPT with a healthcare provider to determine if the test is right for you

The woman is above 30 years of age.
A high risk for abnormality is found through serum screening.

FAQs

What is NIPT test?

NIPT or non-invasive prenatal screening is a comprehensive
prenatal testing solution that is designed for screening of chromosomal
abnormalities. The NIPT blood test checks for abnormalities in a developing
foetus, and analyses fragments of foetal DNA in the mother's blood. You can
check the risk factor for Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13, among
other conditions, in a complete NIPT test in pregnancy health screening.

How accurate is the NIPT test for Down syndrome?

The accuracy level of an NIPT test is quite high, nearly 99%
according to some estimates by researchers et al. The test analyses cell free
DNA (cfDNA) from the placenta to measure the risk factor for the development of
a range of chromosomal abnormalities by testing maternal blood. You can check
for a NIPT test results example and understand what parameters are measured
with the screening test.

However, it is important to keep in mind that NIPT is not a
diagnostic test and a positive result on an NIPT test should be confirmed with
a diagnostic test, such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis.

Is the NIPT test done in India?

test if you are looking for a specific type of check-up pre-screening. You can
search for the correct genetic conditions screenings that you are seeking, and
ensure that they are covered within the package.

How do I prepare for the NIPT test?

There are no special requirements for the NIPT test, and you
need to follow all the instructions of the technician. Key information and
documents will be required during the sample collection stage.

the 10 to 14 weeks of pregnancy period. You can get the best NIPT blood test
cost with MyDiagnostics. The NIPT test in India can be performed with ease when
you opt for an at-home sample collection. The NIPS test or NIPT test results
can be delivered directly via email.

What if NIPT test is positive?

If the results of an NIPT test are positive, it means that
there is an increased risk of a specific chromosomal abnormality, such as Down
syndrome, trisomy 18, or trisomy 13. However, it is important to keep in mind
that NIPT is a screening test and not a diagnostic test, and a positive result
does not necessarily mean that the fetus has the condition.

In the event of a positive result, a diagnostic test, such
as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, is typically recommended
to confirm the diagnosis. These tests can provide more accurate information and
a definitive diagnosis. The genetic testing pregnancy screening package
can be the best prenatal testing solution for all mothers.

MyDiagnostics. You can get the best NIPS price when you opt for an at-home
solution.

Is NIPT test necessary in pregnancy?

The decision to have an NIPT test during pregnancy is a
personal one and depends on several factors, including the individual's medical
history, family history, and personal preferences.

NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic test, and is used
to assess the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities in a developing fetus.
While it can detect conditions such as Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy
13 with a high degree of accuracy, it is not required for all pregnancies.

For some women, the results of Non invasive prenatal testing
can provide important information and peace of mind, while others may prefer
not to have the test or to wait for a diagnostic test such as chorionic villus
sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis if the results of NIPT are positive. The choice
to have an NIPT test should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider,
who can provide information on the benefits and limitations of the test and
help the individual make an informed decision.

What is the cost of NIPT test in India?

The noninvasive prenatal testing NIPT solution ranges from
INR 12500 to 17500 based on the type of test opted for. The report for NIPT
testing is generated within 15 days, giving you complete insights on your NIPL
test result.

The NIPT test cost is also optimized for at home sample
collection, and complete screening for a range of conditions. The NIPT test
cost in India is also inclusive of critical screening parameters required for
all expecting mothers.

Can we know the gender in an NIPT test?

The NIPT test is not designed to test for gender.

Does NIPT detect autism?

The NIPT test doesn't detect autism in foetuses. The NIPT
test in India is designed to detect specific chromosome abnormalities, which
are predefined within the testing package. You can get the best NIPT test price
when you buy from MyDiagnostics.

Can NIPT detect birth defects?

The NIPT test is not designed for checking of birth defects,
however if a birth defect is suspected further testing may be recommended. This
may involve testing for genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome, Trisomy,
etc.

Some non invasive prenatal tests may be done for conditions
that may be related to some birth defects. In this case your healthcare
specialist will be able to provide the right next steps for further action.

How do you read a NIPT test report?

There are multiple insights present in the NIPT test report,
which is why knowing how to read them properly will be important. You can focus

absence of the abnormalities tested.

Your risk factor for Down syndrome, trisomy 18, trisomy 13,
etc. will be mentioned within the report along with a risk assessment number.
This value will be indicative of the risk of having that specific condition.
For the conditions with a higher number, you should get further testing
performed.

There will also be a confidence interval mentioned, which is
a statistical metric to represent uncertainty. There may be significantly
larger uncertainty for some tests, along with limitations mentioned of the NIPT
test as a whole.

You will also be provided recommendations for next steps
along with what actions you can take. This should help in making the report
more focused on what you can do with the information from the test.
