Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few years, improvements in research and technological advancements have significantly enhanced our knowledge in prenatal diagnosis. Today, many congenital anomalies could be diagnosed early in the first trimester thanks to improvements in screening tests. Genome sequencing has been shown to be a powerful diagnostic tool in guiding medical management and parental decision making. Advances in fetal therapy have enabled us to prevent and treat some fetal critical conditions, improving postnatal outcomes. Therefore, this Special Issue is intended to review, in detail, a wide variety of recently developed methods of prenatal diagnosis and fetal therapy. I am pleased to invite you to submit your works to advance management in prenatal diagnosis. We welcome a diverse range of contributions, in particular on these topics:
- Anomalies in first trimester ultrasound;
- Non-invasive prenatal testing;
- Fetal malformations;
- Twin pregnancy;
- In utero surgery.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Valentina D'Ambrosio
Guest Editor
