Popis: Recent advances in prenatal genetic testing have made testing for congenital disorders more accessible, with emerging technologies promising further expansion of available testing options. In particular, non-invasive prenatal testing (“NIPT”) has allowed women to identify more fetal disorders earlier in pregnancy than was possible only a decade ago.
