Aneuploidy Screen NIPT

Basic NIPT screens for the three most common chromosomal conditions: Down’s syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards’ syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau’s syndrome (Trisomy 13). At Jeen, our Aneuploidy NIPT is classed as a basic NIPT and forms our baseline screening panel.

Advanced NIPT includes everything in the basic test and can also screen for sex chromosome conditions, selected rare chromosomal deletions (microdeletions) and in some cases rare genetic conditions.

At Jeen, our NIPT specialists and midwives will support you during your consultation to help determine which option is most appropriate for you, based on your medical history, scan findings, and personal preferences.

We ask you to send us your pregnancy scan so our medical team can confirm that you’re at least 9 weeks pregnant (depending on the test you’ve chosen) and that the pregnancy appears to be developing as expected. By reviewing a recent scan performed within one week of your NIPT blood draw, our team can check that there are no early concerns before going ahead with your NIPT.

It’s also helpful to know that NIPT screens for specific genetic conditions only. It doesn’t look for physical or structural differences, such as heart defects or organ development issues, which are usually identified later in pregnancy through detailed ultrasound scans. Reviewing your early scan helps ensure NIPT is appropriate for you before moving forward.

Yes. At Jeen Health, the standard option is for you to arrange your blood test at home independently. If you prefer, we can organise your blood test for you for an additional fee.

Yes, NIPT can identify the baby’s biological sex with high accuracy, but this is completely optional. If you’d like to know, just let our team know during your consultation and if you’d rather not find out, we’ll make sure it’s not included in your report.

At the moment, certain NIPTs are only offered in the NHS in certain situations, such as when a standard screening test shows a higher chance of a genetic condition. At Jeen, we offer private NIPT testing with flexible options, fast results, and full clinical support, including expert guidance and convenient at-home appointments.

Your Aneuploidy NIPT results will usually be ready within 7–10 working days from the time your sample arrives at our partner lab. Once the results arrive our admin team will call and deliver the results to you as soon as they’re ready.

Please note that delays can occur during public holidays in both the UK and US. If your results indicate that follow-up testing is needed for your partner, we’ll act quickly to keep everything moving smoothly. Our priority is to get you the answers you need without unnecessary delays, so you can make confident, informed decisions for your pregnancy.

Aneuploidy NIPT is completely safe for both you and your baby. It’s a non-invasive blood test that only requires a small sample from your arm and involves no physical contact with the baby. This means there’s no risk of miscarriage or harm to the pregnancy, unlike invasive diagnostic procedures.

You can take Aneuploidy NIPT from 9 weeks into your pregnancy. Before booking your test with Jeen, we’ll ask you to upload a recent pregnancy scan, such as a dating scan or viability scan. This allows our specialist medical team to confirm that the test is suitable for you before proceeding.

NIPT is over 99% accurate at detecting Down’s syndrome and is also highly reliable for Edwards’ and Patau’s syndromes. It is more accurate than standard NHS screening and produces fewer false-positive results, meaning fewer people are referred for unnecessary follow-up testing.

Yes. With Jeen, you must attend an online midwife NIPT counselling appointment before the test. After this appointment, we will send you the kit for sample collection.

At Jeen, we believe it’s important that everyone taking NIPT has the chance to speak to a qualified midwife (or a genetic counsellor for an additional fee) first. This session helps you understand what the test covers, what it doesn’t, and what the results might mean for you and your baby. It’s also a space to ask questions and make confident, informed choices.

If your result shows a high risk for a condition, we’ll arrange a follow-up session with one of our genetic counsellors to explain exactly what it means. You’ll be given the option to have a diagnostic test, such as amniocentesis or CVS, which can confirm the result. We’ll support you at every step, with clear information and no pressure.

Aneuploidy NIPT is our baseline and most affordable NIPT option and can be performed from the earliest point in pregnancy. It screens for the three most common chromosomal conditions: Down’s syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards’ syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau’s syndrome (Trisomy 13).

Like all NIPT tests, Aneuploidy NIPT does not screen for all chromosomal conditions or detect physical or structural differences, such as heart, brain, or limb abnormalities, which are usually identified through ultrasound scans.If you are looking for more comprehensive screening, you may wish to consider advanced NIPT options such as Panorama, PrenatalSafe, or KNOVA.

At Jeen, the most suitable NIPT option will be discussed during your midwife consultation, taking into account your medical history, scan findings, and personal preferences.

Yes. You can change your NIPT option following your counselling or midwife appointment. If you decide to switch from Aneuploidy NIPT to a more comprehensive or higher-priced NIPT option, we will invoice you for the additional amount after your consultation.
‍
If you switch to a less expensive test, we will issue a refund for the price difference within 5–10 working days. Our midwife will help you choose the most appropriate screening option based on your medical history, scan findings, and personal preferences, ensuring you have the right test for your pregnancy.

Please note: If you upgrade your test, your NIPT kit will only be sent once the additional invoice has been paid in full.
