This document provides an overview of Downs syndrome, Edwards syndrome and Pataus syndrome screening by describing what should happen at each stage of the end-to-end pathway.

In this publication, we use the terms woman and women to refer to anyone able to become pregnant, including trans men. Trans men who are pregnant should be offered the same antenatal and newborn screening tests as other pregnant individuals.
