This conference aims to take an in-depth look at the current trends and guidelines in Europe for prenatal molecular diagnostics, while providing perspectives on how this rapidly changing field is likely to develop in Europe over the next several years. In addition to the technical issues, there are a number of other factors, including geographic differences, coverage of diagnostic tests from one country to another, challenges of clinical implementation of new procedures and the increased need for genetic counseling perspectives, that need to be understood in order to forecast how this field is likely to develop in Europe.
