A pregnant woman’s blood contains fragmented DNA particles of the placenta as well as her own cells. The DNA of the fetus and the placental cells (Cf-DNA) is usually identical. LifeCell’s Jananya, Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS) analyses this Cell-Free Fetal DNA (Cf-DNA) & helps in early detection of certain genetic abnormalities without harming the fetus.
LifeCell’s Jananya Non-Invasive Prenatal screening (NIPS) is a genetic test that screens for common genetic conditions, such as:

Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening
SPEAK TO A COUNSELLORPlease note that Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening can only be ordered by a physician. They would also be the only person to receive your results and will pass them along to you. If you are unable to find a physician, contact us on 1800-266-5533 & we will organise one for you at no additional cost.
Although this test has a high detection rate, it just measures the risk of your child developing the aforementioned chromosomal defects. If you were to test positive for one of the anomalies, your doctor will then recommend further confirmatory testing.
Sample just requires the maternal blood sample.
This test poses absolutely no risk to either the mother or the baby.
