Yes, it is important. NIPT is safe as well as a crucial test. There is no harm to the fetus and it helps in determining whether the baby has any of these genetic disorders – Down, Edwards' or the Patau Syndrome. It can, in fact, test for several other chromosomal abnormalities too..... Dr Rupal (Senior Consultant Physician) Mumbai
