Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
-
QI have been diagnosed with a vanishing twin (a condition where one twin stops developing). Can I still receive NIPT testing?Yes, testing is possible, but there are a few important points to be aware of.
In cases of vanishing twin, the DNA of the twin who has stopped developing remains in the mother’s bloodstream for some time. As a result, there is a higher risk of inaccurate results (results that differ from the true condition) compared to a single pregnancy.
At our clinic, we may perform testing as an exception for patients who fully understand and consent in writing to this “risk of reduced test accuracy.” To help maximize accuracy, the test (blood draw) must be performed at or after 10 weeks of pregnancy.
If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to speak with our doctors or staff at your appointment. -
QCan I receive accurate testing even with a lower-cost plan?Yes, accurate testing is performed under all plans. However, since the scope of testing differs by plan, please choose the one that best matches your goals.
