International Interactive Masterclass: Hot Topics in Genetic Prenatal Diagnosis

In recent years, the field of prenatal genetic diagnosis has seen remarkable advancements, particularly with the introduction  of cell-free DNA testing as a cutting-edge screening tool for aneuploidy and Exome Sequencing as a powerful diagnostic test for monogenic disorders.

Masterclass Topics and Outline

In this masterclass, we will explore the key achievements of both technologies. We will start with a brief overview of their molecular foundations, dive into their clinical applications, and conclude with essential insights on genetic counseling.
