Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is being applied more widely in Vietnam. However, the effects of NIPT on prenatal diagnosis have not been studied much in our country. This study aims to analyze the impact of NIPT on the changes in the number of routine screening tests for chromosomal abnormalities 21, 18, and 13 and the impact of NIPT on invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures and propose strategies to screen for fetal aneuploidy.

This dissertation "Fact, Fiction and Folk Horror: A Cross-Genre Experiment in Music Biopic Screenwriting" is bifurcated, to highlight the transformation of the screenplay from its conventional original form to its unconventional re-visioned form: Part One is the diagnostic phase; Part Two is remedial.
