Our center performs diagnostic genetic testing on prenatal samples to assess your baby’s health. Prenatal testing may be recommended by your physician based on ultrasound findings, a known family history of genetic disorders, a positive carrier screening result<\/strong>, or positive prenatal screening results such as <\/strong>NIPT<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. The results support informed decision-making regarding pregnancy management and follow-up, birth planning, and postnatal care.<\/span><\/p>

Sample Types<\/b><\/p>

CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling):<\/b> Performed from the 10th week of pregnancy, this procedure involves taking a small sample from the placenta for genetic analysis. It is often preferred for its ability to provide early results.<\/span><\/p>

Amniocentesis:<\/b>
<\/b>Performed after the 16th week of pregnancy. Under ultrasound guidance, a sample of amniotic fluid is collected using a fine needle. It is one of the most commonly used invasive prenatal diagnostic methods and offers high diagnostic accuracy for fetal genetic evaluation.<\/span><\/p>

Cordocentesis:<\/b>
<\/b>Performed from the 20th week of pregnancy onward. This diagnostic procedure involves obtaining a fetal blood sample from the umbilical cord to clarify suspected genetic conditions.<\/span><\/p>

The sampling procedure is performed by your Obstetrician, while the detailed analysis and reporting of the sample are conducted by the specialists at our center.<\/span><\/p>

Note:<\/b> Maternal blood is required for Maternal Cell Contamination (MCC) analysis. For detailed sample requirements, please contact our center.<\/span><\/p>
