NIPT Extended (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)
A blood test that can identify chromosomal abnormalities in a foetus.
NIPT Extended shows how likely it is that the foetus has certain abnormalities in the chromosomes. A screening method from week 11 of pregnancy (10+0). A venous blood sample from the mother’s arm is used to analyse the baby’s DNA. In each cell there are 46 chromosomes that contain the genetic material, DNA. Half of the chromosomes come from the egg and half from the sperm. When the cells divide after fertilisation, there can be abnormalities. Some chromosome abnormalities are very serious. Others are barely noticeable.
At the moment we only offer this service in Stockholm and the surrounding area, Gothenburg, Skåne and Västerås.
Method: Blood sample
