230,000円（税抜）Listed prices are tax-inclusive test fees. Before proceeding, confirm the total, cancellation and refund terms, and whether consultations, genetic counselling, home collection, repeat collection and diagnostic follow-up cost extra. More items do not necessarily make a plan more suitable.
SMA and fragile X tests have a different purpose from NIPT. Confirm who is tested, the specimen, method and limitations separately. ‘Confirm’ marks scope not yet confirmed.

TEST SCOPE
Understand each part of the scope
Each plan separates the conditions screened from information outside its scope.
Core trisomies
Estimates the chance of trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) and trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).
Sex chromosomes
Screens for selected numerical sex-chromosome differences, including patterns associated with Turner, Klinefelter and triple X syndromes.
Whole-chromosome analysis
Whole-chromosome analysis does not detect every abnormality. Confirm analysis and reporting scope with your provider, especially sex-chromosome reporting in Plan D.
Selected microdeletions
Selected regions are explained according to the plan. Refer to the pre-test information for the current scope.
SMA, fragile X and DMD
These differ from NIPT in purpose, specimen and interpretation. Confirm genes, method, price and eligibility separately.
Outside test scope
NIPT does not assess every congenital condition, structural difference, developmental outcome or future health state.
PROCESS
From consultation to result
- 01
Pre-collection information
SGH explains plans, prices and areas. Discuss eligibility and genetic counselling with your medical provider.
- 02
Consultation, consent and blood draw
Visit a partner provider, or use nurse home collection when a participating provider can arrange it, then provide about 10 ml of blood after the required consultation and consent.
- 03
Specimens go to Taiwan
Review the information about GenePhile Bioscience Laboratory at 柯滄銘婦產科診所 and confirm the commissioned scope with your provider before testing.
- 04
Your provider explains the results
10–14 days after receipt in Taiwan is an estimate. Your medical provider handles results, genetic counselling and any follow-up testing discussion.
LIMITATIONS
Compare scope and limitations—not price alone
- NIPT is screening, not diagnosis, and does not assess every congenital condition.
- A positive or inconclusive result should be discussed with a medical provider.
- Test items and service conditions vary by plan. Review the pre-test information before applying.
- Consultation, blood collection, diagnostic testing or repeat sampling may involve separate charges.
