Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing and Confined Placental Mosaicism

, 2023
My research subject is non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), a screening offered in pregnancy to detect fetal chromosome anomalies. In my research, we investigate whether false-positive NIPT results may be attributable to genetic anomalies confined to ...

Ethical issues associated with prenatal screening using non‐invasive prenatal testing for sex chromosome aneuploidy [PDF]

, 2022
Prenatal screening for sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs) is increasingly available through expanded non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). NIPT for SCAs raises complex ethical issues for clinical providers, prospective parents and future children.

Non-invasive prenatal test to screen common trisomies in twin pregnancies [PDF]

Molecular Cytogenetics, 2020
AbstractObjectivesRecent years have witnessed a shift from invasive methods of prenatal screening to non-invasive strategies. Accordingly, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma has gained a considerable deal of interest from both geneticists and obstetricians.

Prospective observations study protocol to investigate cost-effectiveness of various prenatal test strategies after the introduction of noninvasive prenatal testing

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2018
Background Among the non-invasive screening methods for the identification of fetal aneuploidy, NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing) shows the highest sensitivity and specificity in high-risk pregnancies. Due to the low false positive rate of NIPT, it is
