NIPT is a screening test to identify pregnancies at risk for common autosomal aneuploidies (e.g., trisomy 21, 18, and 13). Some laboratories also offer screening for sex chromosome aneuploidie s[11, 12]. NIPT for fetal aneuploidy has arrived.

National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC)

NIPT as an option for aneuploidy assessment in pregnancy: Peer-reviewed data currently supports NIPT as a screening tool for select population s[13].

Israeli Society of Medical Geneticists (ISMG)

It may be advantageous to integrate NIPT with the current screening modalities as part of the screening program for fetal aneuploidy in Israe l[14, 15].

The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG)

NIPT as a first-line screening test. Using NIPT on intermediate- or low-risk patients might be endorsed as a widely available option only when new data emerge and NIPT costs decreas e[16].
