Clinical data

MORE THAN

10,000,000

NIPT TESTS PERFORMED

Up to this date, more than 10,000,000 NIPT tests with our technology have been performed worldwide (more than any other NIPT provider), which means that we offer a proven and trusted service.

VALIDATED ON

147,000

PREGNANCIES

The NIPT by GenePlanet test was independently validated. The largest study of the clinical use of NIPT included more than 147,000 pregnancies.

Below we present data from selected studies. You can find more information at the bottom of the page, in the Published reports section. It lists some of the 31 papers published relating to NIPT.
