DNA testing in pregnancy

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)

DNA tests are revolutionizing our medical world and one of the greatest impacts has been in prenatal testing for chromosomal imbalances in the developing fetus. Requiring only maternal blood, these tests have gained massive popularity and obstetrics societies consider it the most accurate method to screen for chromosomal trisomies such as Down Syndrome. But the public remains largely uninformed about this breakthrough technology. In this talk, geared towards pregnant women or those planning pregnancy, we will discuss:

• What is NIPT and when should pregnant women consider it?
• What are the risks and benefits of NIPT DNA testing?
• How does NIPT compare to traditional methods?
• What are the different types of NIPT available?

Who this talk is for:

• Women planning their pregnancy
• Women at early stages of pregnancy (9+ weeks)
• Physicians interested in NIPT testing availability at their clinics
• Pregnancy support staff who wish to learn more about NIPT
• Influencers with outreach that are interested in partnering for events promotion to people in the pregnancy demographic
