Hello, non-invasive prenatal DNA testing (NIPT) is most accurate when performed between 3 and 4 months of pregnancy. Typically, this test enables pregnant women to assess whether the fetus has congenital genetic disorders. If a fetal genetic disorder is suspected, it may lead to abnormal development; in severe cases, it can even result in intellectual disability. Therefore, early diagnosis and intervention are essential. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
