What Is Fetal Fraction In NIPT? - Women's Health and Harmony
What Is Fetal Fraction In NIPT? Understanding the fetal fraction is essential for anyone undergoing non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). In this informative video, we will break down what fetal fraction means and how it impacts your prenatal care. We will discuss the role of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the mother's bloodstream and how it helps determine the amount of genetic material coming from your baby. This percentage is vital for ensuring the accuracy of NIPT results, as it directly influences the reliability of screening for common chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome. We will also touch on the appropriate timing for these tests and the various factors that can affect the fetal fraction, including gestational age, maternal age, and body mass index (BMI). Understanding these elements can assist you and your healthcare provider in interpreting test results more effectively. In cases where the fetal fraction is too low, we will explain what steps you might need to take, including the potential for retesting and advancements in technology that may improve outcomes.
