Summary
This chapter starts with basic concepts of test accuracy statistics, role of ultrasound in genetic screening and description of currently available screening tests, namely combined first trimester screening, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and second trimester biochemistry screening. The chapter also covers invasive testing and management options when screening test is declined or when second trimester ultrasound markers are found. Screening options for multiple pregnancy are also discussed.
