Non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS or NIPT), is the first-line screening test globally recommended for detecting common chromosomal abnormalities & microdeletions in fetuses from the cell-free DNA present in the maternal blood sample, passed from the placenta. On average ~10% of the circulating cell-free DNA is found in the maternal blood.2 NIPT is a screening that can be done as early as at 10 weeks of gestation.
[Form-G Mandatory for this test. Form G and Test requisition form by clicking on download sample reports below]
Why NIPT?
NIPT analyzes fetal chromosomal abnormalities using cell-free DNA in the mother's blood, eliminating the need for previously used invasive techniques such as Chorionic Villus sampling or amniocentesis, which carries a high risk of miscarriage. With its non-invasive nature, NIPT provides a solution and reports chromosomal abnormalities with high sensitivity.
It is important to note that NIPT is a screening test and cannot provide a final diagnosis based solely on its results. Nevertheless, NIPT demonstrates great sensitivity in detecting Down syndrome, capturing over 99% of cases3
Conditions screened for
- All autosomal chromosomal abnormalities including trisomies 13, 18, 21
- All sex chromosomal abnormalities
*This test does not reveal the sex of the fetus in accordance with PCPNDT guidelines
Clinical Utility
- NIPT can be performed as early as 10 weeks of gestation, allowing for earlier detection of chromosomal abnormalities compared to traditional screening methods.
- NIPT results can reduce anxiety and uncertainty for expectant parents by providing them with valuable information about their baby's health.
- Reduced invasive tests by 94.8% & decrease in procedure-related miscarriages by 90.8% 4
When is NIPT recommended
- NIPT is generally recommended to all pregnant woman
- If any soft marker tests (double, triple & quadruple marker) suggest for chromosomal abnormalities
- If ultrasound High NT or absent nasal bone suggests for chromosomal abnormalities
- History of a prior pregnancy with a trisomy
MapmyGenome’s Offerings
- Identify risk for all chromosomal abnormalities including trisomy 13, 18, 21 and sex chromosomal aneuploidies.
- Non-invasive, safe and accurate

How does gut microbiome testing work?
The process involves collecting a small stool sample at home using a provided MyapMyBiome kit, which is then sent to our laboratory. Scientists use next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the DNA of microorganisms in your sample. The lab identifies thousands of bacterial species, measures their abundance, and compares your results to healthy reference databases to generate a personalized report with actionable recommendations.
WHAT TYPE OF SAMPLE IS COLLECTED FOR THIS TEST?

WHO CAN TAKE THIS TEST
- Anyone seeking gut health insights
- People with digestive concerns (bloating, constipation, stomach discomfort)
- Individuals optimizing diet and lifestyle
Those curious about microbiome's influence on health
How do I collect a sample at home?
Sample collection is simple and done at home:
- Receive your sterile collection kit with instructions
- Collect a small stool sample using the provided collection device
