Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), also known as cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening, is a type of prenatal aneuploidy screening test. With a simple maternal blood draw, NIPT can noninvasively screen for the presence of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies as early as week 10. ACOG and SMFM recognize NIPT as a screening option for all pregnant women, regardless of age or risk.2
NIPT is as safe and simple as a blood draw.2
Greater than or equal to 99.9% sensitivity and specificity for trisomies 21, 18, and 13 as early as week 10.1
NIPT can be performed as early as week 10 of gestation until term.2

The VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2 is an in vitro diagnostic test intended for use as a screening test for the detection of genome-wide fetal genetic anomalies from maternal peripheral whole blood specimens in pregnant women of at least 10 weeks gestation. VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2 uses whole-genome sequencing to detect partial duplications and deletions for all autosomes and aneuploidy status for all chromosomes. The test offers an option to request the reporting of sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA). This product must not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or other pregnancy management decisions. Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) based on cell-free DNA analysis from maternal blood is a screening test; it is not diagnostic. Test results must not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis. Further confirmatory testing is necessary prior to making any irreversible pregnancy decision.
