Abstract: INTRODUCTION Since 2021 first-trimester anatomical screening (FTAS) is offered in the Netherlands alongside genome-wide-cell-free DNA. Previously, only second-trimester anatomical screening (STAS) was offered. This study identifies structural abnormalities amenable to first-trimester diagnosis detected at/after STAS… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction First-trimester anatomical screening (FTAS) by ultrasound has been introduced in many countries as screening for aneuploidies, but also as early screening for fetal structural abnormalities. While a lot of emphasis has been put on… read more here.
