You have received a low risk result on your non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

A low risk NIPT result

• means that the chance for trisomy 21, trisomy 18 or trisomy 13 is less than 1:10,000
• does not mean that the chances are zero
• is reassuring but does not guarantee the birth of a baby without any health concerns or other genetic conditions

Next Steps

If your NIPT result is low risk your health care provider will continue to provide routine care. It is recommended that you have a nuchal translucency (NT) ultrasound between 11 and 14 weeks' gestation as part of this routine care.

Traditional multiple marker screening (eFTS or MSS) is not needed or recommended if you've already had a low risk NIPT since NIPT is known to have a higher detection rate than eFTS and MSS.
