Non‐invasive prenatal test uptake in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods

Prenatal Diagnosis, 2021
AbstractObjectiveNon‐Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is increasingly being implemented worldwide. In public health programs, equitable access to healthcare is a fundamental principle which also applies to fetal aneuploidy screening. However, the out‐of‐pocket costs of NIPT may lead to sociodemographic disparities in uptake of screening.

Non-invasive Prenatal Testing Using Fetal DNA

Molecular Diagnosis & Therapy, 2019
Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) is based on fetal DNA analysis starting from a simple peripheral blood sample, thus avoiding risks associated with conventional invasive techniques. During pregnancy, the fetal DNA increases to approximately 3-13% of the total circulating free DNA in maternal plasma.
