Non-invasive Prenatal First Test in Moscow
First Test by Genetics is a non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) for common chromosomal abnormalities. This is a modern method of prenatal testing based on the analysis of fetal DNA from the mother’s venous blood. It is completely safe and poses no risk to the fetus.
NIPT is recommended for all pregnant women, as it is more accurate than biochemical screening and ultrasound in detecting genetic disorders. You can take the test as early as the 10th week of pregnancy.
The information obtained allows expectant parents to accurately identify or rule out the presence of serious and sometimes life-incompatible syndromes in the fetus, such as Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.
Gender determination of the baby is FREE (if you don’t want to know, please let us know in advance)!

Normally, a person has 46 chromosomes grouped into 23 pairs. If this number changes, it may lead to the development of various syndromes. One of the most well-known is Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21. It is the most common chromosomal abnormality.
However, other chromosomal anomalies also exist, such as trisomy 13 and 18. These are compatible with life but are associated with multiple developmental defects. Sometimes, such anomalies are not detected through biochemical screening or ultrasound.
That’s why international obstetrics and gynecology associations recommend performing the full First Test screening for the 8 most common syndromes. This allows early detection of potential chromosomal abnormalities and timely intervention.
Results of Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening
The report provides a clear, easy-to-interpret result indicating high or low risk of chromosomal abnormality.
- Low risk: Indicates no chromosomal diseases with accuracy greater than 99%.
- High risk: Increased likelihood of a chromosomal abnormality. All high-risk results must be confirmed by invasive methods (chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis).
- No result: If the fetal DNA fraction in the sample is below 3.5%, a repeat collection may be necessary. This is because a low fetal DNA fraction can produce a false negative, typically seen in patients with a high body mass index.
Indications for First Test in Early Pregnancy
It is recommended to undergo the non-invasive prenatal DNA test in the following situations:
- Risk of chromosomal abnormalities detected by ultrasound and biochemical screening.
- Woman’s age over 35 years and man’s age over 40 years.
- Presence of hereditary diseases or children with chromosomal abnormalities in the family.
- Mother or father diagnosed with chromosomal disorders.
- History of adverse pregnancy outcomes (miscarriage, stillbirths, infertility).
- If you have had illnesses during pregnancy.
- Use of IVF (in vitro fertilization).
Since fetal aneuploidies can also occur outside risk groups, we recommend NIPT testing for all pregnant women to be confident about their child’s health. The test can also be done in case of twin pregnancy!
Contraindications for First Test
First Test is an effective and safe method for detecting chromosomal abnormalities. This high-tech screening has almost no contraindications and provides full informativeness. However, it is not recommended in case of:
- Triplet or higher-order pregnancies;
- Pregnancy less than 9 weeks.
Other limitations may include:
- Parental chromosomal aberrations (balanced translocations and inversions, sex chromosome aneuploidies, mosaicism in maternal somatic cells);
- Mother’s oncological diseases;
- «Vanishing» twin syndrome;
- Organ or bone marrow transplantation, stem cell therapy;
- Allogeneic blood transfusion within one year;
- Treatment with human serum albumin and/or exogenous DNA cells within four weeks;
- Heparin therapy within 24 hours.

How to Do a Non-invasive Prenatal Test First Test
Any woman can order the test at an early stage of pregnancy (starting from the 10th week). For this, it is enough to give a venous blood sample at a clinic and fill out a questionnaire. From the collected biomaterial, fetal DNA is extracted in the laboratory, and after molecular genetic analysis, a report with results for each chromosome is issued.
Unlike invasive methods, NIPT is performed using the mother’s blood and is completely safe both for her health and for the health of the future child. NIPT directly analyzes fetal DNA, which provides a detection accuracy of 99% for trisomies of chromosomes 21, 18, and 13.
NIPT can be performed in cases of single or twin pregnancies. The test is recommended for pregnancies conceived both naturally and through IVF, as well as in donor programs and surrogacy (only in the case of single pregnancies).
