What is NIPS (Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening)?
It’s important to remember that NIPS is a screening test – meaning it doesn’t provide a definitive diagnosis of a fetal chromosome condition. Instead, NIPS provides a risk assessment for specific disorders which can be present in any pregnancy.
Guide To Understanding Aneuploidy
You might’ve heard, but our bodies are complex things, made of tiny building blocks called cells! These cells, in so many ways, contain the road map for what makes us unique human beings. This road map is stored within our DNA and organized in structures called chromosomes. And while these structures have pretty clear instructions most of the time, occasionally, our chromosomes can get a bit mixed up, resulting in a condition called aneuploidy.
How Does Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS or NIPT) Work?
Non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) is a prenatal genetic screen that can be done as early as 9 weeks gestation to detect chromosomal conditions in the baby. This means an invasive procedure such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling is NOT required to obtain the sample, making it safe for you and your baby.

How early can I take a Hazel™ NIPS test?
Hazel™ NIPS tests can be performed as early as 9 weeks into your pregnancy, counting from the first day of your last menstrual period.
What’s the difference between the Hazel™ and Hazel™ Plus Tests?
The Hazel™ NIPS test and the Hazel™ NIPS test both screen for trisomy 21, 18, and 13, and predict fetal sex. The Hazel™ NIPS test also screens for the sex chromosome aneuploidies Monosomy X, XXY syndrome, Triple X syndrome, and XYY syndrome.For more information, watch our Hazel™ vs. Hazel™ Plus video here: Learn More
Can I order the Hazel™ or Hazel™ Plus for myself, or does it need to be ordered by my doctor?
Either way! You can order a Hazel™ NIPS test directly through our website. Because Hazel™ and Hazel™ Plus are medical screens, you’ll be asked for additional health information after placing your order. A physician will then review your order, approve it, and we’ll ship your kit to you. Alternatively, your prenatal care provider can order Hazel™ on your behalf directly from Juno. If your provider doesn't have a JunoDx provider account, they can sign up here or contact us directly at support@junodx.com.
Can I buy a Hazel™ NIPS tests for someone else?
Not at this time. Because Hazel™ NIPS tests are medical screening tests that require personal health information as part of the fulfillment process, Hazel™ tests are only available to order for personal use.
How accurate are the results of Hazel™ tests?
Hazel™ NIPS tests screen for trisomies 21, 18, and 13 with >99% sensitivity and specificity when patients follow our easy, video-assisted process for collection.
In addition to the above, Hazel™ Plus NIPS also screens for the sex chromosome aneuploidies Monosomy X, XXY syndrome, Triple X syndrome, and XYY syndrome with >95% sensitivity when patients follow our easy, video-assisted process for collection.

Does JunoDx offer genetic counseling?
Yes! If you purchase a Hazel™ NIPS test, you can schedule a genetic counseling video appointment with a licensed and board-certified JunoDx genetic counselor at no additional cost.
What happens if I receive a high-risk result?
If you receive an increased risk result, JunoDx’s licensed and board-certified genetic counselors are available by video appointment to walk you through your results and next steps. We also recommend discussing your Hazel™ results with your doctor since the results of this screening test may impact your prenatal care and birth plan.
How do I share my results with my doctor?
You can download a PDF copy of your lab report through your myJuno portal.
