Does Nipt Detect Triploidy?

Because Panorama uses a unique technology to truly distinguish between the mother's and the baby's DNA, it is the only NIPT that tests for triploidy, and it has the highest accuracy in determining the sex of the baby (optional).

How do you test for triploidy?

A chromosome analysis (karyotype) test is the only test that can confirm a triploidy diagnosis. This test counts the number of chromosomes in a fetus's genes to determine the existence of extra chromosomes. To perform this test, a doctor needs a tissue sample from the fetus.

What does NIPT not test for?

In addition, a negative result does not guarantee that a fetus harbors no chromosomal abnormality, and NIPT does not test for all chromosomal disorders. Aside from its ability to detect disorders, it can also predict fetal sex some 10 weeks earlier than the standard ultrasound and with a 99 percent accuracy.
