A private Provider’s view on NIPT

Non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPT) is available in the form of the IONA® test and IONA® Care from Yourgene Health’s Genomic Services laboratory in Manchester, UK. The test requires a maternal blood sample from the 10th week of gestation and uses next generation sequencing to determine the likelihood that the pregnancy is affected by trisomy 21, 18 or 13.
