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.
