The non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) is a new screening test that helps us to identify if your baby is likely to have a chromosomal condition, for example, Down syndrome, (Trisomy 21), Edward syndrome (Trisomy 18) or Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13). The blood test can be performed from 10 weeks of pregnancy onwards.
These tests are not carried out routinely on all pregnant women. It is an ‘opt-in’ service. Costs may apply for these screening tests. Please contact RCSI Fetal Medicine Unit for further information 01 402 2540 or [email protected]
