Abstract

AbstractUptake of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is rapidly expanding around the world. Here, we provide an overview of the current global state of NIPT, describe the expansion of the test menu, highlight alternative prenatal test service delivery, and discuss NIPT counseling considerations. We also provide a perspective on utilisation of NIPT in India, which has unique challenges for implementing NIPT given its large population, vast territory, and diverse ethnic groups. The barriers to implementation of NIPT in India are also discussed. Current recommendations regarding use of NIPT made by professional societies vary in different regions and such recommendations for NIPT in India will be helpful to provide general guidance to the health care providers, but will likely require modifications for implementation in India.
