Prenatal testing use surges in Japan, NIPT adoption rises sharply
A large-scale survey in Japan revealed that 11.5% of pregnant women underwent prenatal diagnostic testing in 2023, a nearly fourfold increase from 3.2% in 2011. The rise is largely attributed to the widespread adoption of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), which has fewer maternal risks and has seen its age restrictions effectively removed.
