Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a new prenatal genetic screening test with a high degree of accuracy for identifying certain genetic conditions like trisomy 21, 18, and 13. However, cfDNA has also been appli...
Prenatal genetic screening evaluates at risk pregnancies - including both carrier screening, which can be done at any point in a person's life, and aneuploidy screening, which is done during pregnancy...
Prenatal genetic testing can be divided into two categories: screening and diagnosis. Prenatal genetic screening tests are used to assess carrier status or as a fetal risk assessment for a particular ...
Next generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized prenatal genetic diagnostic testing. NGS methods are becoming more advanced and accurate as more genetic information is being linked to genetic cond...
Prenatal genetic diagnostic testing involves clinicians invasively obtaining tissue via amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling to identify if a fetus has a genetic condition. This testing has trad...
Elective genetic testing (EGT) to identify disease risk in individuals who may or may not meet clinical criteria for testing is increasingly being offered in clinical practice. However, little is know...
Genetic testing for persons with Parkinson's disease is becoming increasingly common. Significant gains have been made regarding genetic testing methods, and testing is becoming more readily available...
