Prenatal Screening and Diagnostics


Information obtained from prenatal testing can assist in pregnancy management, indicate the presence of a congenital abnormality or genetic disorder, predict a complicated delivery, and determin potential risks in future pregnancies.

Prenatal testing is generally performed on amniocytes (cells in the amniotic fluid) or on the amniotic fluid (AF). Certain testing can also be performed on a percutaneous umbilical cord blood sample (PUBS) or on a chorionic villus sample (CVS). Our comprehensive prental screening and prenatal diagnostic test menu includes routine screening and genetic, karyotype and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing to identify microdeletion syndromes.
