Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a rapidly developing technology which is constantly widening its scope in reproductive medicine; a development that is accentuating existing as well as raising new ethical questions [1]. NIPT carries a number of advantages compared to other prenatal tests. This screening test requires less invasive procedures on the woman as it is based on cell-free foetal DNA found in the blood of a pregnant woman and has no associated miscarriage risk. It can be done as early as 9 or 10 weeks of gestation and is more accurate screening for common aneuploidies (eg Trisomy (T) 21, T18 or T13) than other prenatal tests such as ultrasound scans or the combined first-trimester screening. NIPT for common aneuploidies is not used as a diagnostic test at present and so a positive NIPT test still requires invasive testing (amniocentesis, ChorionicVillus Sampling) for confirmation. However, because of the high accuracy of NIPT, fewer women will be offered confirmatory invasive tests, when they receive a lower risk result, compared to other screening tests. Although there is ongoing development of the test and some commercial companies offer NIPT for a range of other anomalies (eg microdeletions or single gene disorders), scientists question the utility of using NIPT for these purposes at present.Since its introduction in 2011, NIPT has become globally available in the private sector, and increasingly also in the public sector. Whereas some countries (eg England, France, Germany) decided to offer NIPT as a fully reimbursed second-tier test (ie following initial risk assessment)[2], other countries (eg the Netherlands and Belgium) partially reimburse the use of NIPT as a first-tier test.
