About the test
NIPT by GenePlanet is a non-invasive test that detects genetic conditions such as Down, Edwards, and Patau syndrome, from as early as week 10 of pregnancy.
Why is NIPT by GenePlanet so valuable to you?
NIPT by GenePlanet test will help you spend your pregnancy with one worry less. Check the genetic health of your child with this simple, safe, and very accurate non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT).
Using the latest technology, NIPT by GenePlanet checks all of baby’s chromosomes for potential genetic abnormalities. It can accurately identify the risk of Down, Edwards, Patau syndrome and more than 200 other chromosomal abnormalities.
Join over 10 million moms-to-be that already trust the NIPT by GenePlanet technology.
Why is NIPT by GenePlanet the best on the market?
The most
COMPREHENSIVE
It tests for the highest number of potential chromosomal abnormalities:
Down (trisomy 21), Edwards (trisomy 18), and Patau (trisomy 13) syndrome
Sex chromosome aneuploidies
84 deletion/duplication syndromes
Trisomies 9, 16, 22
All other trisomies, monosomies and deletions/duplications bigger than 5Mbp if the patient selects incidental findings
Optional: Gender information
Depends on what you want to test, you can choose Basic, Standard, or Plus package.
The most
RELIABLE
NIPT by GenePlanet has the highest detection rate for most common trisomies.
It is more than 99% reliable, proven with the world's largest clinical validation study, including nearly 147.000 pregnancies.
It also has the lowest rate of undelivered results and resamples.
The most
TRUSTED
To date, more than 10 million tests have been performed worldwide with the NIPT by GenePlanet technology. This is more than all other providers combined.
We help future mommies find the nearest test provider through an extensive network of gynaecological clinics in more than 20 countries worldwide.

Is the test for you?
Because genetic abnormalities can occur in any pregnancy, NIPT is suitable for any woman regardless of age or the predetermined genetic risk.
It can be especially valuable for women:
wanting to have a peaceful pregnancy,
with a family history of chromosomal conditions,
whose other first-trimester screening tests showed high risk of abnormality,
35 years old or older.

When is the right time to do NIPT by GenePlanet?
When is the right time to do NIPT by GenePlanet?
The test can be performed from as early as week 10 of pregnancy, and until birth. It requires only a small blood sample from the mother’s arm.
NIPT by GenePlanet is the best screening test.
The difference between screening and diagnostic tests
The difference between screening and diagnostic tests
Compared to amniocentesis, which is the leading prenatal diagnostic procedure, NIPT is a screening test.
Screening test's main advantage is its non-invasive nature, which does not present any risk for the mother or baby. Amniocentesis, as an invasive procedure, carries a chance of miscarriage.

|---|---|---|
Diagnostic procedure | Week | Risk of miscarriage |
Amniocentetis | 14-16 | 1-2% |
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) | 10-12 | 1-2% |
Percutaneous umbillical cord blood sampling | 24-34 | HIGH RISK |
Amniocentesis is a diagnostic method where a doctor enters the womb with a needle to extract a sample of fetal DNA. It is usually performed significantly later than NIPT.
Diagnostic tests are standard and necessary procedure for confirming high-risk screening results. But NIPT by GenePlanet has the lowest rate of false positive results (when the test reports abnormality but the child is healthy) and the highest positive predictive value for Down syndrome. Therefore, up to 50% fewer pregnant women are exposed to unnecessary amniocentesis due to false NIPT result compared to other NIPT tests.
The difference between NIPT and other screening tests
The difference between NIPT and other screening tests
Compared to traditional screening tests (nuchal translucency, ultrasound screening), NIPT by GenePlanet offers higher detection rate and smaller percentage of false-positive results. This means that fewer women are exposed to unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. NIPT tests have reduced the need to invasive testing up to 80%.
To have a truly peaceful pregnancy, choose to do both: The nuchal translucency scan can also detect other morphological abnormalities which a genetic test cannot.
Out of 100 women that carry a child with Down syndrome:
Nuchal translucency
Detection rate
80%
Nuchal translucency will correctly identify only 80 of them.
NIPT by GenePlanet
Detection rate
99.17%
NIPT by GenePlanet will miss less than 1.
How do I do the test?
Doing NIPT by GenePlanet is simple.
Find a gynaecologist, give a small blood sample from the arm and get results in just 5–7 days.
