What it is
NIPT analyzes fragments of fetal DNA that circulate in the mother's blood to screen for Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and trisomies 18 and 13. It can be done from about 10 weeks of pregnancy. It is a screening test, so a positive result needs a diagnostic test to confirm.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the DNA analysis of one blood sample. The blood draw, genetic counseling and any added screens, such as sex chromosomes or microdeletions, may be billed separately.
