Analyzing false‐negative results detected in low‐risk non‐invasive prenatal screening cases [PDF]
Background The non‐invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) has been introduced into clinical practice with a high sensitivity and specificity. Although the false‐negative results are inevitable and important, limited false‐negative NIPS results have been ...

Improving the Positive Predictive Value of Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS). [PDF]
We evaluated performance characteristics of a laboratory-developed, non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) assay for fetal aneuploidies. This assay employs massively parallel shotgun sequencing with full automation.

Routinization of prenatal screening with the non-invasive prenatal test:pregnant women’s perspectives [PDF]
Due to the favorable test characteristics of the non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) in the screening of fetal aneuploidy, there has been a strong and growing demand for implementation. In the Netherlands, NIPT is offered within a governmentally supported screening program as a first-tier screening test for all pregnant women (TRIDENT-2 study).

Non-invasive prenatal testing for aneuploidy screening [PDF]
### What you need to know A 36 year old woman attends her general practice at 8 weeks in her second pregnancy. She has heard there is a new blood test she can have which will test for chromosomal anomalies and wants to find out more. In many countries, screening for trisomies 21 (Down’s syndrome), 18 (Edward’s syndrome), and 13 (Patau’s syndrome) is

Relevance of Invasive Testing in Era of Non-Invasive Testing for Prenatal Chromosomal Abnormalities
Prenatal screening for chromosomal abnormalities has two components i.e. prenatal screening (maternal serum screening and cell-free fetal DNA screening) and prenatal diagnosis (chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, and cordocentesis).

Assessment of a change of protocol of prenatal screening by inclusion of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) is a test for the detection of major fetal chromosomal abnormalities in maternal blood during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of NIPS implemented within the framework of the Screening Program ...
