Dublin, April 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Prenatal Screening (In Vitro Diagnostics) - Global Market Analysis and Forecast Model" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Prenatal Screening (In Vitro Diagnostics) - Global Market Analysis and Forecast Model is built to visualize quantitative market trends within In Vitro Diagnostics therapeutic area.

Prenatal Screening is now routinely used in developed countries for early detection of fetal abnormalities. Various biochemical analytes are measured during the first or second trimester including free-beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), total hCG, pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), unconjugated estriol (uE3), and Inhibin A. These markers are used to screen for Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) as well as Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18) and ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, maternal serum levels of AFP are also indicative of neural tube defects (NTDs).

In most countries, maternal serum screening and ultrasound remain standard-of-care for screening of pregnant women for chromosome aneuploidies and other birth defects. If these tests are positive, then prenatal diagnosis is typically performed via either amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).

However, both amniocentesis and CVS are invasive techniques that have a risk of fetal death and miscarriage. More recently, a method for non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) was developed, which analyzes cell-free DNA from maternal blood. Currently NIPT is available in more than 60 countries; it is considered more sensitive and represents an attractive alternative to both maternal serum screening and invasive follow-up diagnostic techniques.

Each of the covered 39 country's color-coded and fully-sourced market models are equipped with epidemiology based indications with procedure volumes. To increase the data transparency, the interactive excel deliverable covers installed base, new sales volumes, product usage, average selling prices, market size and company share/rank analysis (wherever available). Moreover, analyst comments with qualitative insight offer context for quantitative data.
