What is the NICC® Test?
NICC (Non-Invasive Chromosomal Check), also known as NIPT, is an advanced screening method that gives expecting parents vital insights into their baby's health and development.
During pregnancy, a small amount of the baby's DNA (cell-free fetal DNA) passes into the mother's bloodstream. By taking a simple blood sample from the mother, we can analyze this DNA to detect chromosomal aneuploidies—conditions where there is an extra or missing chromosome.
- Painless & Non-Invasive: Avoids the risks associated with amniocentesis or CVS.
- Actionable Insights: Gives you and your doctor time to plan and prepare for your baby's unique needs.
- For Singletons & Twins: Supports standard and twin pregnancies, as well as IVF cases.
What Does It Screen For?
The test analyzes your baby's DNA for the most common chromosomal abnormalities, empowering you with information early in your pregnancy.

- Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome)
- Trisomy 9, 16, and 22
Sex Chromosomes
Identifies abnormalities in the X and Y chromosomes (singleton only).

Who Should Consider NICC?
While this test is suitable as a first-line screening for any pregnant woman seeking peace of mind, it is highly recommended if:
Advanced Maternal Age
Mothers aged 35 years and above.
Family History
History of genetic anomalies or previous pregnancy with chromosomal issues.
Clinical Findings
Abnormal ultrasound results or positive biochemical screening.
IVF Pregnancies
Couples utilizing In Vitro Fertilization.
How It Works
Blood Sample Collection
A small maternal blood sample (typically 8–10 ml) is collected at our clinic from 10 weeks onward. The procedure is non-invasive, quick, and painless for the baby.
DNA Analysis
The sample is sent to the lab where Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and specialized processing are used to isolate and analyze fetal DNA signals.
Results & Consultation
Results are typically ready within 6–10 working days. Our experienced healthcare team will guide you through the findings, offer clarity, and recommend next steps if needed.
