Non-invasive prenatal testing for autosomal recessive disorders: A new promising approach

Conclusion: Herein, we detected AR disease mutations in the first trimester of pregnancy while surmounting limitations associated with maternal genetic material interference. Importantly, such detection strategies would allow the screening of pregnant women for common AR diseases, especially in highly consanguineous marriage populations. This technique would open avenues for the early detection and prevention of recessive diseases among the population.
