Understanding NIPT in Nigeria
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is revolutionising prenatal care by providing a safe and accurate early screening option for detecting common chromosomal conditions such as:
-
Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)
-
Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18)
-
Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13)
At London Diagnostics Clinic, we make advanced prenatal screening accessible to families across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other regions of Nigeria through secure medical logistics and a network of internationally accredited laboratories.
What Is NIPT and How It Works
NIPT is a simple blood test that analyses cell-free fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s bloodstream. It carries no risk to the baby, unlike invasive tests such as amniocentesis.
Key NIPT Facts
-
Requires only a maternal blood sample
-
Can be done from 10 weeks of pregnancy
-
Screens for major chromosomal abnormalities
-
Over 99% accuracy for detecting Down syndrome
Why NIPT Is Growing in Nigeria
The increasing popularity of NIPT in Nigeria is driven by:
-
Growing awareness of prenatal genetic screening
-
Advancements in private fertility and maternity care
-
Rise in international collaborations with medical laboratories
-
Nigerian diaspora seeking global-standard diagnostic testing
London Diagnostics Clinic ensures that samples are transported, processed, and reported under strict international quality and safety standards, giving families confidence in their results.
What Conditions Can NIPT Detect?
NIPT screens for several chromosomal conditions, including:
-
Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
-
Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18)
-
Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13)
Expanded NIPT panels may also include:
-
Sex chromosome abnormalities (e.g., Turner syndrome)
-
Microdeletions and selected genetic variants
-
Fetal sex determination (optional)
Note: NIPT is a screening, not a diagnostic test. Abnormal results should be confirmed through further testing (e.g., amniocentesis).
How Accurate Is NIPT in Nigeria?
NIPT is one of the most accurate prenatal screening tests available.
-
Over 99% accuracy for Down syndrome
-
97–99% accuracy for Trisomy 18 and 13
-
Minimal false positives or false negatives
This makes NIPT the preferred choice for early, reliable pregnancy screening among Nigerian families and healthcare providers.

-

-
Later in pregnancy if recommended
Early testing helps families:
