Prenatal Testing
Prenatal testing gives information about your baby's health
before he or she is born. Testing is offered to pregnant
women
- Who are aged 35 or older, because they are at higher risk for having a child with a chromosomal abnormality
- Who have a family history of an inherited condition such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- When their ancestry or ethnic background means that they might have a higher chance of an inherited disorder such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia or Tay-Sachs disease
- To screen for common genetic disorders such as spina bifida and Down syndrome
Two diagnostic procedures are ordinary in prenatal testing.
Amniocentesis entails testing a sample of amniotic fluid
from the womb. CVS (or chorionic villus sampling) entails
taking a tiny tissue sample from outside the sac where
the fetus grows.
