NIPT – Non Invasive Prenatal Testing in Dubai

Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), often called noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS), is a process by which healthcare professionals determine the risk that the fetus will be born with certain genetic abnormalities.

At AML, by using state-of-the-art infrastructure, top-class methodologies, and the knowledge of our world-class healthcare experts, our testing process analyzes small fragments of DNA that circulate in a pregnant woman’s blood.

The performing of noninvasive testing for pregnancy is a matter of high precision, utmost care, and sensitivity as it helps in screening for Down syndrome as well as any other abnormalities in a baby’s birth.  

Our non invasive prenatal testing is performed by qualified doctors and nurses who set a pattern of 10 weeks gestation throughout the pregnancy. We offer a home test service so that the mother enjoys the comfort of her hour and doesn’t involve in any hassle or inconvenient practice. Moreover, we adhere to the standards set by the Dubai Health Authority. 

Why Do You Need NIPT Screening?

There are several conditions for which NIPT becomes essential. At AML, we follow careful precision to conduct highly sensitive NIPT that reflects our professionalism, knowledge, and expertise in high-class laboratory testing. Our non invasive prenatal testing in Dubai picks up more than 99% of cases of various syndromes. Here is an accumulation of syndromes we detect and inform our patients beforehand for timely treatment and medication;

Down Syndrome
This syndrome occurs with the chromosome Trisomy 21 and, if left un-dealt, will result in pregnancy loss. Even if the pregnancy leads to birth, the results can be an intellectual disability, defects in low muscle tone, and indifferent facial features. Moreover, the child may also develop severe medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s, thyroid problems, leukemia, and hearing impairment. It is significant to note that the occurrence of Trisomy 21 happens 1 in 800 live births.

Edwards Syndrome
Trisomy 18 is a syndrome that leads to severe results in Edwards’s syndrome. Miscarriage and stillbirth are some factors coupled with some disabilities in a baby’s organs, and it usually happens in 1 in 6000 births. Some apparent defects are heart defects, cleft lip, and palate, low birth weight, or improper brain functioning.

Patau Syndrome
Patau syndrome occurs with Trisomy 13. The occurrence of this syndrome is relatively lower; however, the results lead to miscarriage or stillbirth and several other defects, such as abnormalities, improper brain functioning, and intellectual disabilities.

Turner Syndrome
Another reason to get noninvasive prenatal testing in Dubai from AML is that we help you detect the presence of Turner syndrome in the early stages. It is a rare condition that occurs by one X sex chromosome in the absence of a second yet same chromosome instead of two sex chromosomes. It does not completely center on the mother. Taking non invasive prenatal paternity tests will also clear out the missing chromosome from the father’s ending. The unawareness and non-treatment of this chromosome may lead to learning disabilities such as improper heart functioning, kidney abnormality, and other small stature.

Check Baby’s Gender
AML’s non invasive prenatal testing starts from the beginning of 10 weeks of pregnancy for women. Where it is used to detect the presence of any defective chromosomes (X/Y) that lead to disabilities and impairment in the future, many people opt for determining the gender of their baby.
