"Initial guidelines recommended NIPT for high-risk women only; however, it is now also available to the general population."

Line 53:64 · Use semicolons judiciously.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Its availability is limited by cost. Furthermore, NIPT screens only for specific chromosomal abnormalities: trisomy 21, 18, and 13, with or without monosomy X (Turner syndrome). Therefore, it should be performed alongside 1st trimester ultrasound for detection of other anomalies."

Line 52:132 · Use the Oxford comma in '13, with or without'.
