Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)

Check the DNA of your baby just after 10 weeks of pregnancy using NIPT (Non-invasive prenatal testing). With a blood sample from the mother we can detect baby’s conditions like Down Syndrome, Edward Syndrome, Patau Syndrome, Turner Syndrome & Klinefelter syndrome with upto 99% accuracy. This test is specially recommended worldwide for mothers above 35 years, since the risk of getting these syndromes is increased with increasing maternal age.However it can be performed for anyone including IVF, surrogate, egg-donor and twin pregnancies.

Genelabs Medical is pleased to be the first laboratory in Sri Lanka to perform this complex test.
