Statutory Information and Medical Disclaimer
Any type of fetal gender-detection or sex-selection testing is strictly prohibited and punishable under the PC-PNDT Act.
NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. A high-risk or positive NIPT result must be confirmed through an invasive diagnostic procedure such as Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) or Amniocentesis, as advised by a qualified medical practitioner or genetic specialist. A low-risk or negative result does not guarantee the absence of genetic or chromosomal abnormalities.
Reports require clinician interpretation. Clinical decisions should be taken by the treating doctor after considering medical history, ultrasound findings, and relevant reports.

NIPT is a non-invasive blood test. Some people may feel temporary discomfort, dizziness, or uneasiness after the blood sample is drawn, similar to other blood tests.
When should I ask for an NIPT screening of blood tests?
