This inspection observes tiny parts of DNA that are wandering in a pregnant lady’s blood. Contrary to most DNA that is found into the cell’s nucleus, these particles are free circulating and but not inside the cell, so they are termed as called cell-free DNA (cfDNA). These tiny particles normally hold less than 200 DNA building blocks (base pairs) and occur when cells are broken down or die off. Thus their ingredients, including DNA, are circulated inside the bloodstream. NIPT checks for Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) Down syndrome, and (trisomy 21). And they can result in minor to major intelligence incapability and are related to the deep, inborn deformity.
