Abstract:
Non-invasive prenatal Testing (NIPT) has revolutionized prenatal care by offering a safe, reliable, and early method for detecting chromosomal abnormalities. However, the accuracy and reliability of NIPT can be compromised by various sample errors, which can have significant implications for patient care. This review article aims to identify and understand the most common sample errors encountered in Get Checked NIPT procedures. These errors include improper sample collection, inadequate sample volume, contamination, processing delays, and maternal and fetal DNA proportions issues. By examining the root causes and consequences of these errors, this review provides insights into how they can affect test outcomes. Furthermore, the article strongly emphasizes the need for adherence to best practices and standard operating procedures to minimize these errors, ensuring higher accuracy and reliability in NIPT results. The findings underscore the importance of stringent quality control measures, proper training for healthcare providers, and patient education to reduce sample errors and enhance the overall efficacy of NIPT in clinical practice.
