What is Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)?
Safe, Accurate, and Available at Eden Health Center Qatar
Introduction
Expecting a baby is one of life’s most exciting journeys — and knowing your baby is developing healthily offers peace of mind. That’s where Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) comes in.
In Doha, Qatar, Eden Health Center offers NIPT as part of our advanced prenatal care services to help expectant mothers get early, accurate insights into their baby’s health — without the risks of invasive procedures.
What is NIPT?
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a blood test done during pregnancy to screen for genetic conditions in the fetus, such as:
- Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)
- Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18)
- Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13)
- Sex chromosome abnormalities (like Turner syndrome)
- Fetal gender (optional)
Unlike traditional diagnostic procedures (like amniocentesis), NIPT only requires a simple blood sample from the mother, with no risk to the baby.
How Does It Work?
During pregnancy, small fragments of your baby’s DNA circulate in your blood. NIPT analyzes this cell-free fetal DNA to detect possible chromosomal abnormalities.
At Eden Health Center, we send the blood sample to a certified genetics lab, and results are usually available within 7–10 days.
Who Should Consider NIPT?
While NIPT is available to all pregnant women, it is especially recommended if:
- You’re over 35 years of age
- You have a family history of genetic conditions
- You received abnormal results from a first-trimester screening
- You had a previous pregnancy with chromosomal disorders
Advantages of NIPT
- Safe & non-invasive: No risk of miscarriage
- Early detection: Available as early as week 10 of pregnancy
- High accuracy: Over 99% sensitivity for major conditions
- Peace of mind: Helps families prepare early and make informed decisions
