Is Noninvasive Prenatal Screening Appropriate for Pregnant Women Age 35 or Older In Cases if Isolated Fetal Nasal Bone Abnormalities in The Chinese Han Population?

CONCLUSIONS The nasal bone provides an important marker for chromosome abnormalities in some populations, but to a lesser extent in the Chinese Han population. NIPS is an excellent first option for follow-up among pregnant women age ≥35 in cases of absent or hypoplastic fetal nasal bone in the first trimester ultrasound scan.
