Recently, the Tokyo Health Laboratories, which conducts our testing, performed random <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/\">NIPT<\/a> on pregnant women under 10 weeks of gestation without deliberately checking their gestational age, and test results were successfully obtained for all participants.<br>\n<br>\nPreviously, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/\">NIPT<\/a> was recommended from the 10th week of pregnancy onwards, a stage at which it was believed a sufficient amount of fetal DNA (FF: Fetal Fraction) could be detected in maternal blood. However, this clinical trial conducted by the Tokyo Health Laboratories has proven that a sufficient amount of fetal DNA (FF: Fetal Fraction) can be detected in maternal blood even before the 10th week of pregnancy.<br>\n<br>\nTherefore, Hiro Clinic will now offer &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/early-nipt-august-only\/\">Early<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/\">NIPT<\/a>&#8221; for pregnant women under 10 weeks of gestation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/early-nipt-august-only\/\">Early<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/\">NIPT<\/a> is available for expectant mothers whose fetal heartbeat has been confirmed via ultrasound, allowing the test to be performed without being restricted by gestational age. However, to ensure maximum testing accuracy, we still strongly recommend testing from the 10th week onwards.<br>\n<br>\n*Testing before the 10th week of pregnancy may result in lower sensitivity and specificity compared to testing performed from the 10th week onwards.<br>\n*If a positive result occurs during an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/early-nipt-august-only\/\">Early<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/\">NIPT<\/a> test before the 10th week, the positive predictive value (PPV) and positive score will not be reported.<br>\n<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/early-nipt-august-only\/\">Early<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/\">NIPT<\/a> is available for all testing plans, except for NIPTy Mini.\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing Flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"testing_flow\">\n<p class=\"testing_flow_text\">Test under 10 weeks of pregnancy (1st test)<\/p>\n<p>\u2193<\/p>\n<p class=\"testing_flow_text\">Notification of Results<\/p>\n<p>\u2193<\/p>\n<p class=\"testing_flow_text\">Booking the 2nd test (Please book after 2 weeks have passed from the 1st test AND you are at least 10 weeks pregnant.)<\/p>\n<p>\u2193<\/p>\n<p class=\"testing_flow_text\">Notification of Results<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"newcta\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/mypage-nipt-reservation.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/registration\">\n  <p class=\"jisseki mincho\">Our NIPT Track Record <span class=\"big\">Over 75,000<span> cases<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n  <p class=\"res-btn\">Check Availability &#038;

In this case, we strongly recommend taking the second test from the 10th week onwards.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n  <div class=\"early-accordion-item\">\n    <div class=\"early-accordion-header\">Q: Can I choose any testing plan?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"early-accordion-content\">\n      <p>A: Yes, all testing plans are available, except for NIPTy Mini.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n  <div class=\"early-accordion-item\">\n    <div class=\"early-accordion-header\">Q: Can I take the test if I do not have an ultrasound photo or a Maternal and Child Health Handbook?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"early-accordion-content\">\n      <p>A: Yes, you can take the test at your own risk and responsibility.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n  <div class=\"early-accordion-item\">\n    <div class=\"early-accordion-header\">Q: If my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nipt\/\">NIPT<\/a> result is positive before 10 weeks, will I receive support for the amniocentesis?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"early-accordion-content\">\n      <p>A: If a positive result occurs in either of the two tests (before 10 weeks or from 10 weeks onwards), you will be eligible for amniocentesis support. You are also eligible if you receive a positive result on the first test and proceed directly to an amniocentesis without taking the second test.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n  <div
