Main features of NIPT
(New Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)

• 

  With NIPT there is a very low risk of damaging the fetus

  add

  Since NIPT involves collecting blood samples from the mother, there is no direct damage to the fetus.
  In the definitive examination such as amniotic fluid sampling by maternal puncture and chorionic villus testing, there is a considerable risk of damaging the fetus.

• 

  Testing is available from the 10th week of the pregnancy cycle.

  add

  NIPT (New Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is available from the 10th week of pregnancy, so you can learn about your baby’s health early.
  Traditional non-conclusive tests (maternal serum markers and combined tests) could not be performed until after 11 weeks of pregnancy at the earliest.

• 

  High accuracy of testing

  add

  There are two criteria for measuring the accuracy of a chromosome test. One is sensitivity, which indicates the probability of being positive and being positive after birth. The other is “specificity,” which indicates the probability of being negative and remaining negative after birth.
  NIPT (New Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) has a high accuracy of 99.9% in both sensitivity and specificity in the examination of chromosome 21 (down syndrome), and can detect the number of abnormal chromosomes in babies more accurately.

NIPT Glossary

• Vanishing Twinsadd

  Vanishing twins is a phenomenon that occurs in early pregnancy, when the fetus disappears from the womb. The name “vanishing twin” comes from the idea that one half of a deceased twin (twin) appears to have vanished before long.
  It is one of the symptoms that appears to have disappeared when a fetus during multiple pregnancies dies in the womb and the deceased fetus stays in the womb and is absorbed.
  Vanishing twins are said to occur in more than 30% of twin pregnancies. Although medical developments have gradually clarified this phenomenon, there are still many unknowns.
  Vanishing twins are more likely to occur in monochorionic twins than in bichorionic twins, which are more common in monozygotic twins.
  Bichorionic twins refers to a situation in which each twin fetus has one placenta, for a total of two placentas. On the other hand, monochorionic twins refers to a situation where two twins share one placenta.

• Chimeraadd

  Two fertilized eggs that were fraternal twins may fuse into a single fertilized egg, in which case, one individual will have two different sets of genetic information. In most cases, the fertilized eggs do not grow to the point of birth, but in rare cases, an individual may be born as a chimera with two different sets of genetic information.
  When identical twins fuse, they are not chimaeras because they have the same genes. There are also cases where one half of a twin embryo that died as a vanishing twin fuses with the remaining embryo that did not disappear and is born as a chimera. In particular, when embryos that were intended to be born as opposite-sex twins are fused, hermaphrodites with male and female reproductive organs in one individual or hemihybrids with ambiguous male and female reproductive organs may be born.
  The occurrence of such a chimera phenomenon is almost unheard of, and the probability is said to be less than 1 in 100,000.

• Aneuploidyadd

  Normal human chromosomes have two identical chromosomes with the same number. However, when several chromosomes that should have two chromosomes each are mutated (increased or decreased), such as one or three chromosomes, this is called aneuploidy.
  If the effects of aneuploidy are significant, the baby is often Stillbirth before birth, but even if it is not fatal, some abnormality can occur. For example, Down’s syndrome, a congenital disorder, is a disorder of chromosomal abnormalities caused by the presence of three chromosomes 21^*.

• Trisomyadd

  Trisomy is a trisomy syndrome, in which there are usually 23 types of chromosomes, each with two chromosomes. Trisomy is a chromosomal abnormality in which one of the 46 chromosomes is overrepresented, resulting in the presence of 47 chromosomes. Chromosomes include autosomes, which contain genetic information that forms the body, and sex chromosomes, which determine gender. Depending on which of the two chromosomes is more numerous, the term “autosomal trisomy” or “sex chromosome trisomy” is used.
  Autosomal trisomies include Down syndrome with chromosome Trisomy 21, Edwards syndrome with chromosome 18 trisomy, and Patau syndrome with chromosome 13 trisomy. Most cases of chromosomal abnormalities result in miscarriage, but in mosaic cases, births have been reported with all chromosomes.
