Prenatal Care

Prenatal care encompasses a variety of tests used to monitor the health of the unborn fetus. Information obtained from prenatal testing can affect pregnancy management, indicate the presence of a congenital abnormality or genetic disorder, predict a complicated delivery or impending fetal demise, and provide information regarding risks in future pregnancies.

Testing is generally performed on the amniotic fluid (AF) or amniocytes (cells present in the amniotic fluid). Certain testing can also be performed on a percutaneous umbilical cord blood sample (PUBS) or on a chorionic villus sample (CVS).

MPLN's comprehensive prental screening and diagnosis test menu includes routine screening, genetic, karyotype and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing to identify microdeletion syndromes.
