Enlarged NT (≥3.5 mm) in the first trimester - Not all chromosome aberrations can be detected by NIPT [PDF]
__Background:__ Since non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in maternal blood became available, we evaluated which chromosome aberrations found in our cohort of fetuses with an enlarged NT in the first trimester of pregnancy (tested with SNP microarray ...

Performance of cell free DNA as a screening tool based on the results of first trimester screening
The advent of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in the screening of fetal abnormalities has optimized prenatal care and decreased the rate of invasive diagnostic tests. In this retrospective descriptive study, we began with 1874 singleton pregnancies.

Public viewpoints on new non-invasive prenatal genetic tests [PDF]
Prenatal screening programmes have been critiqued for their routine implementation according to clinical rationale without public debate. A new approach, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD), promises diagnosis of fetal genetic disorders from a sample of maternal blood without the miscarriage risk of current invasive prenatal tests (e.g ...
