General Information About the Test
Test Process and Preparation
Double or quadruple tests only make a statistical probability calculation indirectly (via hormones) and have an accuracy rate of around 80-85%. Because NIPT directly examines the baby's DNA, its accuracy rate is over 99%.
It is primarily recommended for expectant mothers aged 35 and over, those with a history of genetic anomalies in previous pregnancies or their families, and women identified as high risk in double/quadruple screening tests.
NIPT is not a diagnostic test, but a very powerful screening test. If the NIPT result is high-risk (positive), as per medical procedure, it is mandatory to definitively diagnose (confirm) this condition via Amniocentesis (fluid extraction) before terminating the pregnancy.
