  1. Each case is classified according to its most important indication. Indications are listed in order of importance: abnormal ultrasound, abnormal NIPT results, high risk of serum screening for pregnant women, genetic factors of parents, marriage of close relatives, past adverse pregnancy outcome, and pregnancy at advanced maternal age
  2. Family history abnormalities include parents with mental retardation, ataxia, or epilepsy. Other indications include abnormal fetal karyotypes and fetal karyotypes that do not match FISH test results
  3. aUltrasound abnormalities include structural malformations, abnormal soft markers, fetal growth restriction, and abnormal amniotic fluid volume
  4. bAbnormal karyotypes include balanced chromosomal translocations, inversions, duplications, and Aneuploidy
