Veracity NIPT : Accurate Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing for Confident Insights
Get to know your fetal well-being better and quicker!
As an expectant mother, you might be a little scared about the well-being of the fetus. To know about your baby's health and the genetic risks involved, you can investigate the possibilities of
Fetal Genetic Testing in the early weeks of pregnancy.
Your doctor or GP will advise you to opt for
Prenatal Screening Blood Tests to confirm whether the baby is likely to have any specific health condition or chromosomal abnormalities.
With several latest bio-innovations,
various Genetic Blood Tests during pregnancy have been invented to ensure the baby’s safety. One such test is the Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT). NIPT is a simple form of genetic blood test that detects chromosomal conditions.

Veracity Non-Invasive Prenatal Test - An overview
According to the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis (ISPD) and the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG),
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a
primary prenatal screening blood test for pregnant women of all ages. It is a method that determines whether the fetus will be born with genetic abnormalities. The
NIPT Blood test serves as a first-line screen for the diagnosis of chromosome abnormalities. Infants born to mothers above 35 years of age are more likely to have Down Syndrome and other chromosome conditions. NIPT also detects microdeletion syndromes that occur in infants regardless of their mother's age.
NIPD Genetics is a leading innovative biotechnology company active in the field of developing, engineering, and providing in vitro genetic diagnostic solutions. NIPD Genetics was founded in 2010 to commercialize pioneering research work in genetic testing. NIPD Genetics applies its proprietary genetic and bioinformatic analysis methods to develop novel tests and technologies for the prediction, prognosis, and prevention of genetic diseases. NIPD Genetics laboratories are accredited by CAP and certified according to CLIA standards. We provide safe, accurate, and reliable in vitro
Genetic Testing Services internationally.
Veracity is the new generation, a non-invasive prenatal test that measures the fetal cell-free DNA in the maternal blood to detect the presence of fetal aneuploidies and microdeletions.

This makes Veracity a strong option for families looking for accuracy and flexibility.
New Microdeletion Screening (Enhanced Panel for 2025)
Starting mid-November 2025, all Veracity and VerAgene NIPT panels will include three additional microdeletion syndromes:
-
Prader-Willi syndrome
-
Angelman syndrome
-
Cri-du-chat syndrome
These conditions are caused by very small missing sections of chromosomes and can occur even when there is no family history. Adding these microdeletions increases the clinical value of the test and gives families early clarity.
Why Choose Veracity Over Other NIPT Tests?
1. Higher accuracy than traditional screening
NIPT has a detection rate above 99% for common trisomies, which is significantly higher than standard first-trimester screening.
2. No risk of miscarriage
Unlike invasive procedures (CVS or amniocentesis), this is a simple blood draw with zero risk to the baby.
3. Suitable for more pregnancy types
Many NIPT brands don’t fully support twins or vanishing twin situations. Veracity does.
4. Fewer false positives
Its technology reduces the chance of unnecessary worry or follow-up procedures.
5. Earlier results
You can test from 10 weeks and get results earlier than with most other prenatal tests.
6. Clear, easy-to-read reports
Reports are written in a way that makes sense to parents, without confusing medical language.
What Veracity Screens For
Depending on the panel you choose, Veracity can screen for:
- Common aneuploidies (T21, T18, T13)
- Sex chromosome abnormalities
- Microdeletion syndromes
- Monogenic conditions (VerAgene only)
- Presence of the Y chromosome
- Parent-of-origin information (VerAgene only)
This allows families to tailor their screening based on personal preferences, medical history, and the level of detail they want.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome?
Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome are genetic disorders caused by chromosomal trisomies.
Down syndrome is caused by an additional copy of chromosome 21. It is characterized by intellectual impairments and congenital anomalies. Down syndrome occurs roughly in 1 in 700 births but is most common in women over 35 years of age.
Edwards syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 18, and Patau syndrome is caused by an additional copy of chromosome 13. Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome occur less common of about 1 in 3000 and 1 in 10000 pregnancies, respectively. Edwards and Patau syndromes are characterized by severe congenital abnormalities and rarely survive past the first year of life.
What are sex chromosome aneuploidies?
Sex chromosome aneuploidies are genetic disease caused by the presence or absence of a sex chromosome. The 23rd pair of chromosomes determines the sex of an individual. Women have XX chromosomes and men have XY chromosomes.
There are four major sex chromosome aneuploidies:
- Turner syndrome is characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome.
- Triple X syndrome is characterized by the presence of three X chromosomes.
- Klinefelter syndrome is characterized by the presence of two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
- Jacob syndrome is characterized by the presence of one X chromosome and two Y chromosomes.
What are microdeletions?
Microdeletions are genetic conditions in which part of a chromosome will be lost. Microdeletions are characterized by congenital abnormalities and intellectual impairment. The severity of the symptoms varies depending on the size and location of the microdeletion. The most common microdeletion syndrome is DiGeorge syndrome which occurs approximately once in 1000 pregnancies. The prevalence of DiGeorge syndrome increases to 1 in 100 in pregnancies with major structural anomalies such as congenital heart disease.
What do about my Regular NHS 12-week scan and NT measurement scans?
If you are having an NIPT Test or you have got a negative or Low-risk result on the Non-Invasive Prenatal Test, even then you should not miss your regular 12-week NHS scan and the NT measurements.
What if the sample fails?
Statistically, the failure rate is 3 % to 4%. If there is not enough cell-free DNA in the blood sample to analyze, we will again take a new sample at no extra cost.
What if I have a high BMI?
There is a high chance of getting inconclusive results as women with high BMI have a reduction in the proportion of cell-free fetal DNA.
Additional Information:
- NIPT can not be done for multiple gestation pregnancies with 3 or more fetuses. It is also not recommended for pregnant women with a history of bone marrow transplantation or other illnesses. For more clarification, please contact us.
- We will require details of your GP/Health Care Professional, which may be requested before or at the time of the scan.
