Factors Affecting the Fetal Fraction in Noninvasive Prenatal Screening: A Review
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022 A paradigm shift in noninvasive prenatal screening has been made with the discovery of cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma. Noninvasive prenatal screening is primarily used to screen for fetal aneuploidies, and has been used globally.

Cell‐based noninvasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT) detects pathogenic copy number variations
Clinical Case Reports, 2020 In two cases, cell‐based noninvasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT) detected pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) in the fetal genome. cbNIPT may potentially be an improved noninvasive alternative for the detection of smaller CNVs.

Relevance of Invasive Testing in Era of Non-Invasive Testing for Prenatal Chromosomal Abnormalities
Gynecology Obstetrics & Reproductive Medicine, 2022 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).

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
