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.
