NIPT
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) involves a simple blood screening that analyzes that DNA (cell-free DNAor cfDNA) to identify baby’s risk for a number of genetic disorders, including Down syndrome.
More about NIPT
NIPT is a prenatal screening, which looks at DNA from the baby’s placenta in a sample of the mother’sblood to identify whether there is an increased risk of giving birth to a child with a genetic disorder.
A screening like NIPT cannot, however, determine for sure whether your baby actually has a chromosomal disorder, only the probabilityof having that condition. However, it is highly accurate — 97 to 99 percent accuracy for three of the most common conditions.

How does NIPT help?
The results of an NIPT screening can help you and your doctor decide next steps, including whether to have a diagnostic test like chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis (“amnio”).
These genetic tests analyze a baby’s own genetic material, collected from the amniotic fluid or placenta, to tell with 99.9% percent certainty whether a baby has a chromosome abnormality.
After-results of NIPT
Once the results of the NIPT are back, the doctor will likely pair them with the results of the first-trimester or nuchal translucency screening to determine whether further testing is needed.
If it’s positive, the doctor may recommend following up with amniocentesis or CVS to confirm the result and check for other problems NIPTs can’t detect.
