- Comparison of screen positive rates between investigational testing results and conventional screening results (standard of care). [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The primary outcome of this study is the false positive rate of fetal aneuploidy detection for chromosome 21, 18, and 13 by the Verinata Health Prenatal Aneuploidy Test and screen positive rate for fetal trisomy (T21) and trisomy (T18) by conventional prenatal screening methods. Birth outcomes, or karyotype if available, will be used as the reference standard.
