NIPT test - Prenatal diagnostics

NIPT – Sweden's most affordable prenatal diagnosis

NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is a reliable blood test that analyzes the fetus's DNA to detect chromosomal abnormalities. The test is completely risk-free for both the mother and the fetus and can be taken from pregnancy week 10+0. We at Testmottagningen.se are proud to offer Sweden's most affordable NIPT, analyzed by Karolinska University Hospital.

What can NIPT detect?

NIPT analyzes the fetal DNA via a simple blood sample from the pregnant woman and can detect the following chromosomal abnormalities with high precision:

Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) – An extra copy of chromosome 21, which is the most common chromosomal abnormality.
Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) – A rare and serious chromosomal abnormality that often leads to complications.
Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) – Very rare, but severe and often life-threatening abnormality. Sex chromosome abnormalities – For example, Turner syndrome (45,X) and Klinefelter syndrome (XXY).

What is a chromosomal abnormality?

A chromosomal abnormality is a change in the number or structure of chromosomes, which can affect the development of the fetus and lead to congenital conditions. Chromosomes contain our DNA and genes, and abnormalities can occur spontaneously during cell division or be inherited from parents. Chromosomal abnormalities come in two different types, numerical abnormalities and structural abnormalities. Chromosomal abnormalities can be detected through genetic tests, such as NIPT or amniocentesis during pregnancy. With a risk-free NIPT test, you can also choose to find out the sex of the fetus if you wish.

Sample collection in Stockholm – The blood sample is taken at a Karolinska laboratory in Stockholm.
Analysis at an accredited laboratory – Your sample is sent via Karolinska for a thorough analysis of the fetus's DNA.
Fast and secure test results – You will receive your results via the test results service within 7–9 working days.

When not to do an NIPT test

NIPT is a very reliable test, but there are situations where the test cannot be performed or where it may be less reliable:

Before week 10+0 – The test cannot be performed before this week of pregnancy because the amount of fetal DNA in the blood may be too low.
In twin pregnancies – NIPT can analyze the most common trisomies in twin pregnancies, but cannot distinguish whether one or both fetuses have an abnormality.
During egg donation – The test works in most cases, but sex chromosome abnormalities cannot be analyzed during egg donation.
If you yourself are diagnosed with a chromosomal abnormality – Certain genetic conditions in the pregnant woman can affect the reliability of the test.
If you are severely overweight – A high percentage of body fat can affect the analysis by reducing the proportion of fetal DNA in the blood.

Do I need to have an ultrasound before NIPT?

No, an ultrasound is not necessary before you have NIPT. The test can be performed without a prior ultrasound, but some people still choose to have an early ultrasound, usually between weeks 8–9.

Why do I have to be in week 10+0 for NIPT?

For NIPT to be reliable, there must be a sufficient amount of fetal DNA in the blood. This amount gradually increases during pregnancy and reaches a sufficient level around week 10+0.

Is it required to perform KUB before NIPT?

There is no requirement that you must perform KUB before NIPT with us. In Sweden, KUB is often offered as a first screening, but it is voluntary.

What does a deviation on the NIPT test mean?

NIPT is an advanced screening method that assesses the likelihood that the fetus has a chromosomal abnormality, but it is not a definitive diagnosis.

Fetal fraction – what is it and why is it important?

Fetal fraction is the proportion of circulating DNA in the pregnant woman's blood that comes from the fetus. For the test to be reliable, a fetal fraction of at least 4% is required.

Why does the price of NIPT differ so much in Sweden?

The price of NIPT varies depending on several factors such as included services, laboratory methods and commercial strategies.
