[PRENATAL GENETIC DIAGNOSIS-- "DAYS OF FUTURE PAST"].
This review describes the history and the evolvement of prenatal genetic screening tests. We start in the era prior to the understanding that certain syndromes are genetic, continue through the identification of their genetic basis and the changes in markers in the pregnant woman's serum and conclude in the present when assays such as cell free D.N.A are offered to high risk women.
