Prenatal diagnostics includes procedures, including NIPT, aimed at recognising or excluding the presence of congenital abnormalities in the foetus.

NIPT, also known as Non-Invasivive Prenatal Testing, consists of a simple blood sampling to be performed starting from the 10th week of pregnancy. The fetal DNA circulatin in maternal blood is subsequently analyzed to detect genetic diseses or chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidies).

It is  a quick and safe test, that does not imply any risks nor for the mother, nor for the foetus.

S.I.S.Me.R.’s Prenatal Medicine Unit offers different kind of NIPTs. The specialist will indicate the most suitable one for each patient.
