The Generation 46 option of the NIPT range of tests screens for gains and losses of all 46 chromosomes (pairs 1 through 22 plus the sex chromosomes X and Y), including trisomy 21, 18 and 13, and the sex chromosome number changes in the standard Generation option.
It not only screens for extra or missing whole chromosomes but also for extra or missing parts of the baby’s chromosomes.
Changes in chromosomes other than 21, 18, 13, X and Y are rare, but can provide your doctor with important information on the health of your pregnancy.
