What is another word for cell-free fetal dna?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛlfɹˈiː fˈiːtə͡l dˌiːˌɛnˈe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is a term used to describe fetal DNA that is present in a mother's bloodstream without being contained within a blood cell. There are several synonyms for this term, including fetal cell-free DNA, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD), and maternal plasma DNA. These terms refer to the same biological phenomenon and are used interchangeably in medical literature. The detection of cffDNA has revolutionized prenatal care, allowing physicians to screen for genetic abnormalities in a non-invasive manner, reducing the risk of miscarriage associated with invasive procedures such as amniocentesis.
