March 31, 2022 Noninvasive Prenatal Screen (NIPS)
The decision to have genetic screening to evaluate for genetic problems with your baby is a big decision. The most common type of genetic screen is what’s called a noninvasive prenatal screen (NIPS), which is a blood test that screens cells that enter your (mom) blood circulation from the placenta. NIPS is a pretty good test! It has a high detection rate for Down syndrome and a few other common genetic abnormalities. BUT, this test can screen for a lot of stuff… some of which are super rare. What’s the issue with that, you ask? Well, the sensitivity for the other conditions the test screens for is much lower, we’re talking anywhere from 40-80%, which is basically a coin toss in some situations. Check out this episode to find out more about the NIPS and when you should consider more extensive or invasive genetic testing.
