More than 5.000.000 tests worldwide

Safe

Non-invasive, no risk of miscarriage

The test is performed without posing any risk to the baby

Unlike invasive tests, NIFTY test does not require inserting a needle through the abdomen which poses a risk of miscarriage.

Precise

Scientifically documented evidence for >99% accuracy in cases of trisomies

>99% negative prediction value

This means that if NIFTY test is negative, we can be sure by that value about no Down, Edwards or Patau syndrome is present at the baby

Popular

5.000.000 + NIFTY™ tests was performed worldwide until today

NIFTY™ test is the most widely used prenatal test

No other non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) was performed as widely as NIFTY™ test thanks to the extraordinary reliability of this test

Quick

Results can be obtained after 5-7 workdays after the sample was submitted to the laboratory*

It is really that quick

We obtain 1 cm3 maternal blood after a quick and painless blood collection. 18 types of syndromes can be detected from this blood sample and the sex of the fetus also can be identified

*In cases of samples obtained from our rural partners this time can be longer. In some cases the obtained sample will be the subject of further examinations which requires more time but this does not affect the price of the test.

What is NIFTY™ test?

NIFTY™ (Non-Invasive Fetal TrisomY test) is a simple, safe and extraordinarily precise prenatal test which measures the risk of Down, Edwards and Patau syndromes with >99% sensitivity and can also be used to screen other trisomies, sex chromosome abnormalities and microdeletion/microduplication syndromes. The test can be performed after the 10th pregnancy week. 94 types of chromosomal abnormalities can be tested and the sex of the fetus can be also identified.

How NIFTY™ test works?

NIFTY™ szemléltető ábra

During pregnancy, fetal DNA enters into maternal bloodstream. Next-generation technology makes it possible to analyze free fetal DNA segments that are present in maternal blood in order to identify chromosomal abnormalities. NIFTY™ test requires only 10 ml maternal blood sample and blood collection can be performed during the 10th pregnancy week.

What types of abnormalities can be detected with NIFTY™ test?

Trisomies Other trisomies Numerical abnormalities of sex chromosomes
Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) Trisomy 9 Turner syndrome (X monosomy)

Who do we recommend a NIFTY™ test?

Some women have a bigger chance of carrying a fetus who has some type of genetic abnormality. Performing a NIFTY test can be recommended in cases below:

NIFTY test can also be recommended to those pregnant women who want to have a more reliable test than the combined test.

Comparing NIFTY™ test and other conventional prenatal screening tests

Method Invasive/Non-invasive Pregnancy (week) Pregnancy (week)
Biochemical screening test of the maternal serum Non-invasive Week 11-13+6 Week 14-20 False positive rate: 5%
Detection rate: 60-70%
Fetal nuchal translucency measurement Non-invasive Week 11-13+6 False positive rate: 3%
Detection rate: 60-80%
Combined test Non-invasive Week 11-13+6 False positive rate: 2.5-3%
Detection rate: 90-93%
Chorionic villus sampling/amniocentesis Invasive Week 10-20/Week 16-20 Miscarriage rate: 0.5-1%
Detection rate: >99%
NIFTY™ test Non-invasive Week 10-18 No risk of miscarriage
False positive rate: < 0.1% detection rate: >99%

What is the price of NIFTY™Pro test?

The recommended price of NIFTY™-pro test from July is 225.000 HUF.

Besides NIFTY™ test az ultrasound exam may also be needed which costs 33.000 HUF.

For reasons described earlier, our centre recommends performing a combined test also for those who choose NIFTY™-pro test. In this case we offer the combined test FREE OF CHARGE. (Only the price of NIFTY™ test and the price of the genetic ultrasound have to be paid.)

In cases of twin pregnancies, the price of NIFTY test is cheaper, we offer it for 195.000 HUF from July 2022.

The advantages of NIFTY™ test

  • NIFTY™ test is extremely precise

  • We offer a discount if you also request a combined test

  • More than 5.000.000 NIFTY™ tests performed worldwide until today

  • NIFTY™ test can also be used when the pregnancy is obtained by oocyte donation

  • In case of a positive NIFTY™ test, we offer a free clinical confirmatory examination from an invasively obtained fetal sample

  • The whole price of NIFTY™ test can be accounted at the expense of a health insurance

  • NIFTY test offers other screening possibilities (sex of the fetus, other trisomies and numerical chromosomal abnormalities) without an extra fee

  • NIFTY™ test can also be performed in cases of twin pregnancies

NIFTY™ test is extremely precise

During clinical trials, the test detected fetal trisomies with a >99.9% accuracy rate

Negative prediction value (NPV)

The reliability of a negative test result, which means the probability that if the test result is negative than the fetus is really healthy

Down-syndrome 100%
Patau-syndrome 100%
Edwards-syndrome 100%

Specificity

The probability of a negative NIFTY™ test result in the case of a pregnant woman whose fetus is healthy. So specificity illustrates the reliability of NIFTY™ test when detecting those in whom there is no detectable chromosomal abnormality.

Down-syndrome 100%
Patau-syndrome 100%
Edwards-syndrome 100%

Sensitivity

The probability of a positive NIFTY™ test result in the case of a pregnant woman in whose fetus there is a chromosomal abnormality is present. Sensitivity characterizes the reliability of NIFTY™ test when detecting those in whom there is an abnormality is present.

Down-syndrome 99%
Patau-syndrome 100%
Edwards-syndrome 98%

With NIFTY™ test you can be reaassured

In case you perform a NIFTY™-pro test and your result is positive, you will not be left alone.

Free supplementary test

If the test result is “high risk”/”positive”/”detectable” for any tested abnormality then Istenhegyi Genediagnostic Centre offers a free chorionic villus sampling/amniocentesis examination and a free chromosome analysis from this sample plus other free supplementary tests (for example FISH).

Warning: in case of a twin pregnancy NIFTY test will cover the testing of 21, 18 or 13 trisomies.

Istenhegyi Genediagnostic Centre

At our centre we are performing fatal abnormality screenings since 2003. We were the first in Hungary to introduce Down syndrome screening based on combined tests performed at the first trimester. Our performance is in alignment with the highest international standards. In 2012, Istenhegyi Genediagnostic Centre performed some kind of screening test in 9% of Hungarian pregnant women. In this year, one-third of fetuses with Down syndrome were diagnosed at our centre.

Since May 2013 we included BGI’s NIFTY™-test in our fetal test arsenal so since then we can offer a complete screening and diagnostic panel to all the pregnant women who are visiting us. Our centre has the most up-to-date laboratory devices.

Besides that we offer a complete pregnancy care, photorealistic 4D/5D ultrasound examinations (“Baby cinema”).
