NIPT Test

Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening Test (NIPT)

A pregnant woman’s blood contains fragmented DNA particles of the placenta as well as her own cells. The DNA of the fetus and the placental cells (Cf-DNA) is usually identical. LifeCell’s Jananya, Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS) analyses this Cell-Free Fetal DNA (Cf-DNA) & helps in early detection of certain genetic abnormalities without harming the fetus.

Non-Invasive Prenatal screening (NIPS) is a genetic test that screens for common genetic conditions, such as:

• Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
• Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)
• Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)
• Gonosomal aneuploidies ( XYY syndromes, Klinefelter, Turner, triple X)
• Common Microdeletions & Duplications
