Pregnancy is a time of joy and hope, but it’s also a period where ensuring the health and development of your baby is paramount. Among the many innovations in prenatal care, Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) has emerged as a game-changer in early genetic screening.
At Aashakiran IVF Pvt. Ltd., North India’s most trusted and fastest-growing IVF chain, with leading centers in Kharar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Bathinda, we are proud to offer NIPT as part of our comprehensive pregnancy and fertility care programs.
What is NIPT?
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a simple blood test done during pregnancy to detect the risk of certain chromosomal conditions in the fetus—without harming the baby. It analyzes small fragments of fetal DNA that are present in the mother’s bloodstream as early as the 10th week of pregnancy.
What Conditions Does NIPT Screen For?
NIPT primarily screens for the following genetic conditions:
- Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
- Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome)
- Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome)
- Sex chromosome abnormalities (e.g., Turner Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome)
Some advanced versions may also detect microdeletions and rare genetic syndromes.
Why is NIPT Important?
✅ Highly Accurate – NIPT has a >99% detection rate for Down syndrome, significantly reducing the need for invasive procedures like amniocentesis.
✅ Early Diagnosis – Performed as early as 10 weeks, NIPT allows couples to receive crucial information about their baby’s health early in the pregnancy.
✅ Non-Invasive & Safe – Since NIPT is a blood test, there’s no risk to the baby, unlike traditional diagnostic procedures.
✅ Peace of Mind – A low-risk NIPT result gives expecting parents confidence and reassurance during a time filled with emotions and anticipation.
Who Should Consider NIPT?
NIPT is recommended for:
- Mothers aged 35 years or older
- Couples with abnormal ultrasound findings
- Family history of genetic disorders
- Previous pregnancy with chromosomal conditions
- Any expectant mother who wishes for a more accurate and safer screening method
