Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), a novel genetic screening method based on the analysis of cell-free deoxyribose nucleic acid (cf-DNA) of the fetus in the maternal plasma is considered as a valuable test for the pregnant women to provide early diagnosis of genetic disorders. NIPT offers several advantages over conventional prenatal testing procedures; in addition to being non-invasive, these tests offer shorter turnaround times, lower risk to fetus and pregnant women during testing, and high accuracy. Increasing occurrences of chromosomal aneuploidies among fetus with the increase in maternal age, and developments in new technologies are the key factors driving steady growth in the global NIPT market.
