ABSTRACT
Non-invasive prenatal screening using cell-free fetal DNA (NIPS) has been integrated into the prenatal health care only in a short span of five years, and the guidelines provided by professional bodies have been continuously updated. The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics has made a statement on NIPS in July, 2016, suggesting that the NIPS can replace conventional screening for Patau, Edwards and Down syndromes in a continuum of gestational age and for any maternal age, except those who are significantly obese. The scope of target diseases of NIPS are also growing. Meanwhile, pre- and post-test counseling for NIPS has put forward a greater challenge for medical professionals.
