While NIPT is highly accurate, it is important to understand its limitations:
- Scope: NIPT primarily screens for common chromosomal abnormalities and may not detect all genetic conditions. - False Positives/Negatives: Although rare, there is still a possibility of false-positive or false-negative results. - Confirmatory Testing: Abnormal NIPT results should be confirmed with invasive diagnostic tests like amniocentesis or CVS for a definitive diagnosis.
