NIPT Screening 

The Future Health NIPT is a safe and highly sensitive method of discovering if your unborn baby is likely to have conditions relating to the 23 chromosomes screened. It can offer peace-of-mind, sex determination and the opportunity to better prepare for the arrival of your baby

CHOOSING THE BEST OPTION FOR YOUR FAMILY

We offer two NIPT Packages:
FUTURE HEALTH NIPT
FUTURE HEALTH NIPT+

Both NIPT options will screen for trisomys

21: Down's syndrome 

18: Edwards' syndrome

13: Patau's syndrome

As part of your screening, you can choose to screen your baby's sex chromosomes. As well as discovering their likely gender, it can determine if there could be a condition associated with their sex chromosomes.

FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING AND THE NIPT

Through the NHS, you may have had a 'first trimester screening', also known as the 'combined test'. Although the first trimester screening is different, the results can be used in conjunction with your NIPT when calculating the your results. The Future Health NIPT calculates the ‘chance’ of the presence of trisomys; by default, ‘chance’ is calculated by combining the blood screening with the maternal and gestational ages. If you have the results of a first trimester screening, these results can be used instead of the default calculations for trisomys 21, 18 and 13. Simply provide Meet your Miracle with these results at your appointment.

RESULTS
HIGH CHANCE

If the result outcome states 'high chance', this indicates that your baby may have one of the conditions that the Future Health NIPT identifies. The nature of the detected aneuploidy will be identified on the report. The NIPT won't tell you if your baby definitely has one of more of these conditions, however the report can be shared with your maternity provider to explore if any further tests are needed.

LOW CHANCE

If the result outcome states 'low chance', this indicates that your baby is not displaying any of the chromosomal aneuploidies screened for, and a diagnosis for them is unlikely.

The latest clinical performance data including the positive predictive values (PPV), sensitivity and specificity is available from Yourgene Health.
