In 1997, Dennis Lo and colleagues described the presence of free fetal DNA (ffDNA) in maternal plasma for the first time. Nearly ten years have passed since two independent groups proved that even with a small fraction of fetal DNA in the maternal bloodstream it is possible to detect, through next generation sequencing, aneuploidy fetuses early in pregnancy. Non-invasive prenatal test (NI…
