NIPT Testing: Comprehensive Guide to Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening Tests
Introduction to NIPT Testing
NIPT Testing (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is a cutting-edge screening method that provides expectant parents with crucial information about the health of their unborn child. Unlike traditional methods, NIPT tests are highly accurate and pose no risk to the pregnancy.
What is a NIPT Test?
A NIPT test is a non-invasive prenatal screening test that analyzes small fragments of fetal DNA circulating in a pregnant woman's blood. This test can detect chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome. The NIPT test for pregnancy is typically performed from the 10th week of gestation.
Why Choose NIPT Testing?
- Accuracy: NIPT tests are more accurate than traditional screening methods.
- Safety: Being a non-invasive prenatal screening test, it poses no risk to the fetus.
- Early Detection: NIPT testing can be conducted early in the pregnancy.

Expertise You Can Trust
Approximately 1% of All Babies Will Be Born With a Chromosomal Abnormality
- Fetal chromosomal abnormalities are causing physical disability and/or mental retardation
- 70% of syndromic congenital abnormalities are contributed by Trisomy T21, T18 or T13 and 10% by Turner syndrome (Monosomy X)
- The risk of trisomy increases significantly with maternal age

GetcheckedNIPT Reporting Information
Getcheked NIPT is only designed to analyze chromosome aneuploidies of the fetus after 10 weeks of gestation. Reported are overrepresentations of chromosomes 21, 18 and 13, as well as the sex chromosome aneuploidies XO, XXX, XXY and XYY. This screening test does not test for aneuploidies in other chromosomes not mentioned above and can therefore not exclude abnormalities in these.
Chromosome aneuploidies for a twin gestation can in general be detected by this test. However, the test cannot be attributed to individual twin fetuses because in twin gestations sensitivity and specificity for detection of aneuploidies are limited. In case of twin pregnancy and detection of only one Y chromosome by the test, the fetal gender of each individual twin cannot be determined by the test.
Getchecked Reports NIPT Results As Follows:
Positive result – if Getchecked NIPT identifies an aneuploidy (chromosome 21, 18, 13 or gonosomal chromosomes), Getchecked NIPT reports presence of aneuploidy and provides data on fetal DNA fraction in the sample of mother´s peripheral blood (in percentages) and the data on fetal gender if requested. We urgently recommend to the referring physician or the genetic counselor to determine and decide if further invasive testing and subsequent analysis is needed.
Negative result – if NIPT did not indicate a trisomy of chromosome 13, 18, or 21 or gonosomal abnormalities, Getchecked Clinic reports a negative result together with the data on fetal DNA fraction and the data on fetal gender if requested. A negative result cannot entirely exclude the possibility of fetoplacental mosaicism. Thus, Getchecked Clinic is giving negative results of NIPT together with the suggestion: if the fetus shows abnormalities on ultrasound investigation, or if a family history of fetal abnormalities or other genetic disorders exists, we urgently recommend to the referring physician or the genetic counselor to determine and decide if further invasive testing and subsequent analysis is needed.
