What is the NIPT Plus Test?
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) Plus is a sophisticated blood test that screens for chromosomal abnormalities without the risks associated with invasive procedures like amniocentesis. While a standard NIPT looks for common trisomies, the NIPT Plus goes a step further, offering a comprehensive screen that includes microdeletions and rare autosomal aneuploidies.
Why Choose NIPT Plus at Labtest Zote?
- Safety First: It’s a simple blood draw from the arm. No needles near the baby, no risk of miscarriage.
- Early Detection: Can be performed from the 10th week of gestation.
- High Accuracy: Boasts a >99% detection rate for Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21).
- Comprehensive Coverage: Screens for all 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Conditions Screened by NIPT Plus
This test follows international guidelines (such as those from ACOG and WHO) to provide a detailed genetic profile. The NIPT Plus screens for:
- Common Trisomies: Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13).
- Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies: Turner syndrome, Triple X syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Jacobs syndrome, along with the Fetal Fraction percentage to ensure the accuracy
- Microdeletions: 6 types of microdeletion syndromes >3 Megabases, covering key syndrome-related chromosomal regions of less than 5 megabases that are too small to be detected by conventional microscopy.
- 87 types of chromosomal microdeletion/microduplication syndromes >10 Megabases

| Low Risk | Indicates a very low probability that the screened chromosomal conditions are present. |
| High Risk | Indicates an increased probability. Follow-up diagnostic testing (e.g., CVS or Amniocentesis) is recommended. |
| Inconclusive | Rare; usually due to low fetal fraction (low amount of baby’s DNA in the blood). A retest may be required. |
