What is Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)?

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a screening method used to detect certain genetic conditions in a developing fetus. It involves analyzing small fragments of fetal DNA circulating in the pregnant woman's blood. NIPT is typically performed after the 10th week of pregnancy and can provide early information about the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13.
