• Additional validation studies on use <strong>in</strong> low -risk<br />
population and multiple gestations<br />
• Other chromosomal disorders and<br />
microdeletions/duplications<br />
• Use for Mendelian disorders<br />
• <strong>New</strong> technology may <strong>in</strong>crease accuracy<br />

regions<br />
• Whole genome sequenc<strong>in</strong>g<br />
• With<strong>in</strong> the next 10 years, the complete fetal genome<br />
will be successfully sequenced from maternal plasma<br />
