What is NIPT?

Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT), also known as Harmony Test, is a blood test for the mum, which can determine the chances of your baby being born with certain genetic defects, including Down Syndrome (trisomy 21), Edward Syndrome (Trisomy 18) or Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13). It can also tell you the sex of your baby.

How can NIPT determine if my baby has genetic defects like Down Syndrome?

During pregnancy, small fragments of the baby’s DNA circulate in the mother’s blood stream. By taking a small blood sample from the mother, we are able to analyze the baby’s DNA and look for genetic abnormalities such as Down Syndrome.

How accurate is The NIPT?

This test can detect 99% of babies with Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome. In cases of Patau’s syndrome, the accuracy is between 92 to 99%.

Is NIPT safe for my baby?

In order to perform the test, a small blood sample is taken from the mother’s arm. This test does not pose any risks to a pregnant woman or her unborn child.

When can I have the NIPT?

This test can be performed from 10 weeks + 4 days of pregnancy.

How will the NIPT be performed?

Like any other simple blood tests, we take a small blood sample from one of the veins in the mother’s arm. The NIPT does not provide a result in about 5% of cases, which is usually caused by technical problems. In these cases, we will repeat the test at no additional charge.

When do I expect to get the results?

Our clinic will be able to get the results of the NIPT blood test within 3 to 5 days. We will notify you by phone or email once they are available. The results of your test will be discussed with you, and a written report will be emailed to you afterward.

What happens after the NIPT test?

NIPT can determine if you have a low probability or high probability of having a baby with Down Syndrome (trisomy 21), Edward Syndrome (Trisomy 18) or Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13). In cases where NIPT shows low probability, it is important that the person who conducts the 12-week or 20-week pregnancy scan is aware of this. If the results show a high probability, you should return to our clinic or call your GP for further counselling.
