An invasive test is not required if the fetus is female. Atypical Finding, panorama testing, NIPT J JodiJ1982 at 4:44 AM I’m 18 weeks pregnant, first pregnancy, 37 years old, overweight 228 pounds, and these are my test results Has anyone had any experience with this I have a 3-D ultrasound and a potential amniocentesis scheduled. The test analyzes fetal DNA found in the mother's blood to reveal a baby's risk for genetic disorders such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) as early as nine weeks. This can be used to determine fetal sex in women whose fetus is at risk of an x-linked disorder, where the early determination of male fetus indicates the need for an invasive diagnostic test to determine whether the affected x-chromosome has been inherited. The Panorama NIPT is the only single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based NIPT. Fetal sex can be determined from NIPT through the identification of the Y chromosome. Cell-free fetal DNA comes from the placenta, can be detected in the maternal blood from 10 weeks gestational age NIPT is most reliable at assessing the chance of a fetus having Down’s Syndrome and also is an effective screening test for Edward’s and Patau’s Syndromes. NIPT – Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing In 1997, the presence of cell-free foetal DNA (cffDNA) in the maternal circulation was reported. Non-Invasive Prenatal Tests (NIPT) + Detailed Scan
