Maternal anxiety and ultrasound markers for aneuploidy in a multiethnic population.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening can provide false positive/negative results because the fetal fraction originates primarily from trophoblast. Consequently, invasive diagnostic testing is recommended to confirm a high-risk result. Currently, there is debate about the most appropriate invasive method. We sough...
