And the reported risks can potentially range from <0.01% to 100%. The threshold for success is 4% recovery of fetal DNA. Then it lists the outcome of the test: 1) abundance of fetal DNA with the threshold value listed (we were well above), 2) risk of Trisomy 21, 18 and 13 - each listed using standard statistical terminology, in this case p is less than 0.01% (which means exceptionally low risk), 3) sex chromosomes, 4) statement about the risk of sex chromosome abnormalities. Because NIPT is a prenatal screening test it cannot rule out the possibility of chromosomal conditions. It can be performed as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy without posing a risk to the baby.
