Aims & Scope
Prenatal Diagnosis welcomes submissions in all aspects of prenatal screening and diagnosis with a particular focus on areas in which molecular biology and genetics interface with prenatal care and therapy, encompassing:
- prenatal molecular genetics, including genome sequencing and the diagnosis of single gene disorders
- fetal therapy
- fetal and placental cell-free nucleic acids and cells in maternal blood and other fluids
- fetal imaging in relation to congenital anomalies, genetic syndromes and fetal phenotyping
- prenatal cytogenetics and cytogenomics
- prenatal and preconceptional genetic screening and counseling
- fetal and placental transcriptome, proteome and metabolome studies
- development and evaluation of laboratory services for prenatal testing
- psychosocial, legal, ethical and economic aspects of prenatal testing and fetal treatments
- fetal and placental development and pathology
- preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)
The overriding criteria for publication are scientific merit, originality, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience.
