A large, multi-center clinical trial led by Columbia University Medical Center shows that a new genetic test resulted in significantly more clinically relevant information than the current standard method of prenatal testing. The test uses microarray to conduct a comprehensive examination of a fetus's DNA. Results will be in the 12/6/12 issue of NEJM.
