Combined and Triple Test or NIPT? Comprehensive Comparison of Genetic Screening Methods

The Gap in Working Principles: Biochemistry vs Genetics

Traditional tests are not genetic tests. They measure hormones. NIPT reads the baby's DNA directly.

Accuracy Comparison

• Combined: 80% for Down Syndrome detection
• NIPT: 99.9%

False Positives

Combined: 5% of healthy women flagged "High Risk". NIPT: below 0.1%.

Early Detection

Combined: weeks 11-14. NIPT: week 10.

Screening Scope

Combined: Down and Edwards only. NIPT: also sex chromosome abnormalities and microdeletions.

Can I Skip Combined and Go Straight to NIPT?

Yes. ACOG recommends it. But don't skip ultrasound follow-ups.
