Key Market Players and Competition Synopsis
NIPT refers to a method of examining fetal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to determine the risk of genetic abnormalities in the developing fetus. The testing is usually done by taking a sample of blood from a pregnant woman and analyzing small fragments of DNA that are circulating in a pregnant woman’s blood. The test helps in the screening of chromosomal abnormalities, specifically the trisomies that cause Down’s, Edward’s, and Patau’s syndromes.
