NIPT – Non‑Invasive Prenatal Testing

Recommendations

A prenatal screening looks at DNA from your baby’s placenta through a sample of your Surrogate’s blood.

Purpose

Accuracy

It’s 97 to 99 percent accurate for detecting these common conditions.

Limitations

NIPT cannot definitively determine whether your baby has a chromosomal disorder; only the likelihood of having a certain condition.
