NIPT Test Packages at Home in Dubai
The Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT) is a blood-based screening that analyses cell-free fetal DNA in the mother's blood. It is safe for both mother and baby, and no needle goes anywhere near the womb. Dr Plus offers two NIPT packages with home sample collection:
NIPT Basic Package
- Screens 5 key chromosomal conditions
- Trisomy 21, 18 & 13 (Down, Edwards, Patau)
- Sex chromosome risks (XO, XXX, XXY, XYY)
- Fetal gender, testable from week 10
NIPT Advanced Package
- All 5 Basic screenings included
- Plus 20 microdeletion syndromes
- DiGeorge, Angelman, Prader-Willi & more
- Most comprehensive prenatal screen
Important: NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic tool. A high-risk result should always be confirmed with diagnostic testing. Dr Plus provides access to a genetic counselor to help you understand your results. Learn more on our detailed NIPT test in Dubai guide.
NIPT Basic vs Advanced: Which Package Should You Choose?
Choose NIPT Basic (AED 1,299) if you want screening for the most common chromosomal conditions: Down, Edwards and Patau syndromes plus sex chromosome risks. This covers what most routine prenatal screening looks for.
Choose NIPT Advanced (AED 1,699) if you want broader peace of mind. For AED 400 more, it adds 20 rare microdeletion syndromes. It is often preferred by parents with a family history of genetic conditions, or those who simply want the most comprehensive screen available.
The 20 additional microdeletion syndromes screened in the Advanced package are: 1p36 deletion syndrome, Wolf-Hirschhorn (4p16.3), Cri-du-chat (5p deletion), Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, DiGeorge (22q11.2), Williams syndrome, Koolen-de Vries syndrome, Smith-Magenis syndrome, 18q deletion syndrome, Alagille syndrome, Jacobsen syndrome, Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsy (HNPP), Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, WAGR syndrome, Potocki-Shaffer syndrome, Miller-Dieker syndrome, 1q21.1 deletion syndrome, Kleefstra syndrome, and Phelan-McDermid syndrome.

Fertility & NIPT Testing at Home: FAQs
Can I do a fertility test at home in Dubai?
Yes. Dr Plus offers home sample collection across Dubai for fertility-related and prenatal tests, including the NIPT screening in Basic and Advanced packages. A DHA-licensed nurse visits your home, and results are delivered digitally with expert consultation available.
How much does an NIPT test cost in Dubai?
With Dr Plus, the NIPT Basic package costs AED 1,299 and screens for 5 core chromosomal conditions. The NIPT Advanced package costs AED 1,699 and adds 20 microdeletion syndromes. Both include home sample collection anywhere in Dubai.
How accurate is the NIPT test?
The NIPT used by Dr Plus has a sensitivity of over 99.99% for Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13. It uses Whole Genome Sequencing of cell-free DNA. However, NIPT is a screening test, so a high-risk result should be confirmed with diagnostic testing.
When can I take the NIPT test during pregnancy?
NIPT can be taken from week 10 of pregnancy onwards. It requires only a blood sample from the mother, so it is completely safe for the baby.
Can NIPT tell me my baby's gender?
Yes. Both Dr Plus NIPT packages report fetal gender by detecting the presence or absence of the Y chromosome, along with screening for chromosomal conditions.
Is home sample collection as reliable as visiting a clinic?
Yes. Samples are collected by DHA-licensed nurses following the same protocols used in clinics, then transported to accredited laboratories for processing. The testing methodology and accuracy are identical.
