Q: Who can have the NIPT test?
A: NIPT can be ordered by healthcare professionals for women with pregnancies of at least 10 weeks’ gestational age. This test can be requested for any singleton or twin pregnancy, including those conceived naturally or by IVF using the patient’s own egg or a donor egg.
Note that, in twin pregnancies, s*x chromosome (X and Y) analysis can determine fetal s*x but not s*x chromosome conditions. This test is not suitable in the case of a vanishing twin. The s*x of twins will be reported as one result. If male, one or both of the twins will be male. If female, both twins will be female.
The test does not assess risk for mosaicism, partial trisomies or translocations.
