ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Patients and providers are faced with a wide array of choices to screen for structural abnormalities, aneuploidy, and genetic diseases in the prenatal period. It is important to consider the features of the diseases being screened for, the characteristics of the screening tests used, and the population being screened when evaluating prenatal screening techniques.
