INTRODUCTION OF DISEASE AND DETECTION METHOD:
This is a fetal DNA test that measures the risk of chromosomal abnormalities by detecting the unusual presence of one extra chromosomes.
This excludes the detection of physical abnormalities.
The test is non-invasive and does not cause miscarriages or infections.
LIMITATIONS OF THE TEST:
This is not a diagnostic test; therefore, high-risk results should be CONFIRMED by DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES such as karyotyping or Chromosomal analyses.
May produce inaccurate results if and/or inclusive of the following:
the test is performed at very early pregnancy stage (the mother received blood transfusion, transplantation or stem cell therapy.
The mother has chromosomal aneuploidies, mosaicism, or is carrying multiple pregnancy (triplets and above)
INFORMED CONSENT OF THE PATIENT
- I have provided true and reliable personal information, and fully understand the indication, intended purpose and risks of NIPT Test.
- I understand accuracy for fetal gender only 90% and have possibility for false positive for gender.
- I understand that for twin pregnancy only T21, T18 and T13 risk assessment results are available. If the result is “High Risk”, it is suggested that at least one of the twin foetuses is at high risk, further diagnostic test for both foetuses are needed. If the result is “Low Risk”, 99% possibilities of both foetuses are at low risk for T21, T18, and T13
- I understand that the report may take more than 10-14 working days exclude weekend Saturday/Sunday & public holidays.
- I understand that repeated blood sampling may be required due to unforeseen circumstances. (e.g., due to cfDNA less than 5%)
- I am aware to pay extra charge RM100 for procedure taking new repeat sample.
- I understand that sometimes, resampling will also yield inconclusive result.
- This does not mean that the fetus is having any abnormality as NIPT is just a screening test.
- I understand that the result cannot be used as the sole evidence for a diagnostic conclusion. Results from alternative examinations or tests should also be considered to make a final diagnostic confirmation.
- I agree to provide the relevant information of this pregnancy, if my baby is subsequently found with a chromosomal or genetic disease. I understand and agree that my clinician may contact me for such information.
- I am aware that if test result is ‘High Risk’, further diagnostic tests provided are free of charge, however this excludes certain procedural fees imposed by doctors performing the sample collection.
- I understand there exist certain risk at late pregnancy (>24 weeks) because I miss the ideal time for prenatal diagnosis. I agree that by taking NIPT test, I will bare all the risks as I cannot take a clinical diagnostic test to confirm the results.
