Clinical Significance | Non-invasive prenatal test is a screening test for chromosomal aneuplodies from the fetal DNA present in maternal blood. Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edward syndrome (trisomy 18), Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), and sex chromosome aneuploidy are detected by using next-generation sequencing (NGS) at 10 weeks gestational age. |
