How does the Yourgene NIPT test work?
The Yourgene NIPT test directly measures the change of DNA ratio in the maternal plasma when fetal Trisomy 21, 18 or 13 is present. During pregnancy, the placenta leaks cell-free DNA which circulates in the maternal bloodstream.
As a result, a maternal plasma sample contains a mixture of placental and maternal circulating DNA. The Yourgene NIPT test employs Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies to count the number of fragments of the chromosomes to calculate this ratio, hence providing a risk of an affected pregnancy.
