What is Unity Fetal RhD NIPT?

Unity is a blood-based prenatal test that can check your baby's D antigen status to determine if there is an incompatibility between mother and baby, with just a blood draw from mom! It can be done as early as 9 weeks, with non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

  • One maternal blood test gives important information about your baby's health.
  • The test is very safe and accurate, giving you peace of mind. (100% concordance with neonatal outcomes and >99.9% sensitivity and specificity in detecting fetal RhD antigen. Read the full publication in Nature's Scientific Report.)
  • You will also get access to BabyPeek, which can tell you 12 special traits your baby might have.
  • Results come back in 7-10 days.

Know Early with One Simple Blood Test.

Unity's non-invasive prenatal test unlocks your baby’s RhD status as early as 9 weeks gestation. 

Why is this important?

RhD incompatibility occurs if you are RhD negative and your baby is RhD positive. This could cause a problem during pregnancy. Your body might try to protect you by making antibodies, but these could harm your baby.

Knowing your baby's RhD status early can help your doctor decide if any extra care is needed to keep both you and your baby safe. Mothers and babies with RhD incompatibility may be provided with Rh immunoglobulin (Rhlg), such as RhoGAM.

Unity Complete takes advantage of a pregnancy's DNA (circulating cell-free DNA, ccfDNA) floating in the maternal bloodstream to assess for genetic changes. Some of these genetic changes are extremely small — like changes to single genes that can cause recessive (inherited) conditions. Some of these genetic changes involve the presence of an entire extra chromosome (aneuploidies).

Our specialized QCT technology enables us to be able to count the genetic information we see from both mom and baby in a blood sample, and determine if there are differences that could indicate a baby has a higher chance of being affected with one of these conditions.

Unity Complete offers multiple genetic insights from a single maternal blood sample. The results you receive will depend on which tests your healthcare provider orders.

Unity Aneuploidy NIPT screens pregnancies for chromosomal conditions caused by extra or missing chromosomes including trisomy 21, trisomy 18, trisomy 13, monosomy X, XXX, XXY, and XYY. Unity Aneuploidy NIPT can also tell you the baby's gender. For twin pregnancies, you will also learn if your twins are identical or fraternal.

Depending on your clinical picture, your doctor may also order Unity Fetal RhD NIPT for moms who have a RhD- blood type, Unity Fetal Antigen NIPT for moms who are alloimmunized to certain antigens, and 22q11.2 microdeletion analysis.

Unity Fetal Risk Screen determines if a pregnant person is a carrier for up to 14 recessive (inherited) conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell disease. If you're found to be a carrier for one of these conditions, the fetal DNA will be screened to determine if there is a high-risk or a low-risk for your pregnancy to be affected with a condition. In some cases, like twin pregnancies or those achieved with an egg donor, we are not able to perform a fetal risk assessment.

Your provider may also order carrier screening for fragile X syndrome. If the mom is determined to be a carrier for this, our assay can perform cell-free DNA analysis to determine the fetus's sex, as male fetuses are at a higher risk of developing Fragile X syndrome.

Unity Aneuploidy NIPT results are typically reported as either low-risk or high-risk.

Low-Risk Fetus
: This indicates a very low chance that the pregnancy is affected by the conditions tested, though it does not completely eliminate the possibility.

High-Risk Fetus: This indicates an increased likelihood that the pregnancy may be affected by a specific condition. In the case of a high-risk result, follow-up testing such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS), amniocentesis, or post-birth evaluations is generally recommended.

Received a high-risk result? Speak with your healthcare provider to find out if Unity Confirm — a non-invasive blood test that can provide important information to help guide your care — is right for your pregnancy.

Important: Results do not guarantee a healthy child and does not eliminate the possibility of other chromosome abnormalities, birth defects, or other genetic conditions.

Unity Fetal Risk Screen evaluates maternal carrier status for various conditions. If the patient is identified as a carrier, fetal risk assessment will be automatically performed using cell-free DNA. The results will provide either a low-risk or high-risk determination for each condition tested.

No, Unity Complete is not a paternity test. Instead, it is a prenatal screening test that can look at the baby's genetic information for both recessive and chromosomal conditions. Unity Complete can also tell if you are having a boy or a girl as early as the first trimester. This is all possible with just one blood draw from mom.
