NIPT results (in English) will be sent by email to you, your midwife and physician (please provide all email addresses on the patient form that goes with the sample). The result will say NORMAL or ABNORMAL (in case of trisomy 21, 18 or 13 ).
When you indicated on the patient form you wanted to know the sex of the baby, this will be mentioned in the report. When you did not indicate this, you can request the sex of the baby by email (NIPT@GENDIA.net) without extra cost. In case of a normal NIPT result no specific follow up is necessary unless ultrasound examination of the fetus reveals anomalies and further fetal studies might be indicated.
In case of a trisomy of chromosome 21, 18, or 13, the implications will be discussed with you by your physician, midwife or Dr Willems from GENDIA. You can then decide to confirm the NIPT results with amniocentesis or chorionic villus biopsy (CVS), and discuss with the gynecologist whether you want to interrupt the pregnancy.
