Methods for Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis
Summary
Prenatal diagnosis is important for early detection of birth defects such that appropriate prenatal care could be arranged. The existing methods for definitive prenatal diagnosis involve invasive procedures and pose a risk of fetal loss. Noninvasive prenatal diagnostic methods have been developed, but most of them are not sensitive enough to detect fetal diseases at early gestation. A new strategy and new stbiomarkers have been developed for detection of fetal diseases at as early as the 1 trimester of pregnancy.
