Population Screening Act: NIPT in pregnant adolescents aged 16 and 17 years

The NIPT consortium has submitted a permit request for the use of the non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) in pregnant adolescents aged 16 and 17 years for the detection of trisomies as part of two ongoing studies. In these studies, pregnant women can opt for NIPT as initial test or follow-up test.
