The aim of the journal is to communicate the results of original research in a variety of clinical and scientific specialities concerned with in utero diagnosis of fetal abnormality in man (and animal models) resulting from genetic and environmental factors. This is considered to encompass: genetic and other forms of screening aimed at identifying pregnancies at risk of fetal abnormality the epidemiology and pathology of fetal abnormality (including fetal infection) fetal and maternal factors relating to intrauterine development antenatal care in relation to the prevention of fetal abnormality genetic counselling and selective termination of pregnancy psychosocial aspects of prenatal diagnosis the development and evaluation of services for prenatal diagnosis all aspects of fetal imaging, including ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging developments in the field of amniocentesis, chorion villus sampling, fetoscopy, and fetal blood and tissue sampling medical and surgical treatment of fetal disorders developments in genetic linkage and DNA analysis for the diagnosis of gene mutations diagnosis of metabolic defects from chorion villus samples and amniotic fluid advances in amniotic cell culture and cytogenetic techniques pre-implantation diagnosis first-trimester maternal serum screening and early amniocentesis multicolour fluorescence in situ analysis for aneuploidy detection in interphase isolation and analysis of fetal cells and fetal DNA from the maternal circulation Abstracting and Indexing Services BIOSIS Previews Biotechnology Citation Index® (ISI) Cambridge Scientific Abstracts Chemical Abstracts Service Current Contents®/Clinical Medicine (ISI) Current Contents®/Life Sciences (ISI) Elsevier BIOBASE/Current Awareness in Biological Sciences EMBASE/Excerpta Medica (Elsevier) Index Medicus/MEDLINE ISI Alerting Services Midwives Information & Resource Service/MIDIRS Midwifery Digest Reference Update (ISI) Reproduction Research Information Services Ltd Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch®) (ISI) Science Citation Index® (ISI) SIIC VINITI (Russian Academy of Sciences) Instructions to Authors Initial Manuscript Submission Submit four copies of the manuscript (including copies of tables and illustrations).

Colour illustrations will be published at no cost to the author IF the colour is necessary for the biomedical meaning of the illustration (e.g. Doppler, FISH). Non-essential colour illustrations (e.g. a colour photograph of a fetus or specimen, or a sepia scan) will be accepted only if part of their costs are borne by the authors as before - £300 per page. These may be submitted as prints or transparencies. If colour illustrations are supplied electronically in either TIFF or EPS format, they may be used in the PDF of the article at no cost to the author, even if this illustration was printed in black and white in the journal. The PDF will appear on the Wiley InterScience site.

This stage is to be used only to correct errors that may have been introduced during the production process.
