NIPT – Non-invasive Prenatal Test

Test Details

This special test is a screening test used to detect the risk of Down’s syndrome in an unborn baby. It has several names, the most common ones being Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), and Cell-free Fetal DNA Testing (CfF-DNA).

NIPT is highly sensitive and is able to detect more than 99% of cases of Down’s syndrome. Traces of the baby’s DNA circulate in the mother’s bloodstream – known as cfDNA (cell free DNA). Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a way of examining fetal DNA by taking a sample of blood from a pregnant woman to determine the baby’s risk for a number of genetic disorders, including Down’s syndrome.

Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)

Down’s syndrome: This is due to the fetus having three, rather than two, copies of chromosome 21. It is the most common aneuploidy identified at birth. Commonly seen physical signs include decreased or poor muscle tone, short neck, flattened facial profile and nose, small head, ears, and mouth, upward slanting eyes, and wide, short hands with short fingers.

Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)

Edward’s syndrome: This is due to the fetus having three, rather than the normal two, copies of chromosome 18. It is a rare but serious genetic condition that causes a wide range of severe medical problems. Sadly, most babies with Edwards’ syndrome will die before or shortly after being born.

Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)

Patau syndrome: This is due to the fetus having three, rather than the normal two, copies of chromosome 13. Trisomy 13 causes severe intellectual disability and major malformations like cleft lip or palate, clenched hands or extra fingers or toes, umbilical hernia or inguinal hernia, hole or split or cleft in the iris, skeletal (limb) abnormalities, small eyes and undescended testicles.

Words from our customers

The centre is located in Abu Hail. It provides different blood test packages at an affordable price. I recently did a 91 parametres blood test package and it cost me only dhs135 with a free doctor consultation. Result is within 48hrs. Staffs are freindly. The nurses performed the test well without any pain. The centre in clean and it looks new. Rta parking is found just infront of the building. Good experience. Thanks.

Patau syndrome: This is due to the fetus having three, rather than the normal two, copies of chromosome 13. Trisomy 13 causes severe intellectual disability and major malformations like cleft lip or palate, clenched hands or extra fingers or toes, umbilical hernia or inguinal hernia, hole or split or cleft in the iris, skeletal (limb) abnormalities, small eyes and undescended testicles.
Sex Chromosome Aneuploidy: As fetal sex is determined by chromosomes, accurate sex determination is also possible from nine weeks gestational age – much earlier than by ultrasound. Sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) means aneuploidies of the sex chromosomes (X and Y) such as Turner syndrome (monosomy X – having only one sex chromosome) and Kleinfelter Syndrome (XXY – having three sex chromosomes) are also detectable. Those detected with a SCA usually have an impaired fertility issue but a normal intellectual functioning.
Turner syndrome: Turner syndrome, also known as 45,X or 45,X0, is a condition in which a female is partly or completely missing an X chromosome. Turner syndrome can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure of the ovaries to develop, Diabetes. Thyroid problems and heart defects. They may demonstrate a short and webbed neck, low-set ears, low hairline at the back of the neck, and swollen hands and feet at birth. They usually need treatment to develop menstrual periods and breasts.
Microdeletions: A chromosome deletion refers to the absence of a segment of the DNA from a chromosome. Though the overall number of chromosomes is not affected, one of the chromosomes may be missing some part of its DNA. A chromosome deletion is often referred to as a ‘microdeletion’ as the segment that is missing might actually be extremely small.
After Down syndrome (trisomy 21), 22q11.2 deletion is the second most common cause of developmental delay and is the underlying cause for DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, Shprintzen syndrome and Takao syndrome. It may present as Heart defects, cleft, learning difficulties, impaired immune system, Kidney anomalies, hearing loss, laryngotracheoesophageal anomalies,Autoimmune disorders (thrombocytopenia, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, overactive thyroid), Seizures, skeletal abnormalities, ptosis, cataract, strabismus, Developmental delay, intellectual disability autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit disorder.
