Can non-invasive DNA be done?

Patient's question:

When moving the household registration, my age was recorded as 39, but I am actually 35. I gave birth to a baby in May next year, and I will be 36 then. However, my ID card shows I am 39. I had a Down syndrome screening, which was low risk but had an age-related risk of 1:155. I am unsure if I need to do a non-invasive DNA test now, as I am already 21 weeks and 3 days. I showed the results to the doctor today, and I am quite conflicted.

Doctor's answer:

Dear consultant, according to your description, it is recommended that you do a non-invasive genetic screening, because this non-invasive DNA test has an accuracy rate of over 80%. At about 23 weeks of pregnancy, you should also have an ultrasound to rule out deformities. This is the advice for the question "Can I do non-invasive DNA testing?", hoping it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
