Special Issue on Prenatal Diagnosis and Screening

Prenatal diagnosis uses a variety of techniques to determine the health and condition of an unborn fetus. There could be an untoward outcome for the fetus or the mother or both without knowledge gained by prenatal diagnosis. Prenatal diagnosis is evolving rapidly recently. The molecular mechanisms underlying congenital disorders and diseases of pregnancy are well explored and the opportunities for prediction, prevention and treatment of these conditions are likewise expanding.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring prenatal diagnosis and screening. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Prenatal management
• Prediction of adverse obstetric outcomes
• Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)
• Prenatal cytogenetics
• Fetal imaging
• Fetal therapy
• Ethical and practical issues

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Prenatal Diagnosis and Screening” should be chosen during your submission.
