| Over the past decade, women’s health clinicians have witnessed a shift of the paradigm
for the approach to prenatal screening for chromosomal abnormalities. From an
emphasis on age-based invasive diagnostic tests, women are now being offered a
variety of noninvasive screening tests. Although there is exciting research and innovation
in the field of noninvasive testing for fetal aneuploidy, there are currently two tests,
and both are invasive, that are used in a routine manner to determine the presence of
fetal aneuploidy: chorionic villous sampling and amniocenthesis. The aim of this
review was to investigate the effectiveness of prenatal sonography, including first
trimester nuchal translucency screening and second trimester genetic sonography, for
obtaining valid chromosomal abnormality screening test results. |
