Common Questions

Genetic Counselling - Frequently Asked Questions

What is NIPT and when is it recommended?+

NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) analyses fetal DNA in a maternal blood sample to screen for common chromosomal conditions, often recommended after a high-risk NT or Double Marker result.

What is the difference between screening and diagnostic genetic tests?+

Screening tests (like NIPT or the Double Marker Test) estimate risk; diagnostic tests (like Karyotype, CVS or amniocentesis-based testing) provide a definitive result, and the choice between them is discussed in counselling.

Do you provide counselling after an abnormal genetic test result?+

Yes - every result is discussed in a dedicated session, explaining what it means for your baby and family, and what your options are going forward.

Is genetic counselling only for high-risk pregnancies?+

No - pre-conceptional genetic counselling is valuable for any couple wanting to understand their genetic risk factors before or during pregnancy.
