Fetal DNA Analysis

Fetal DNA analysis is a blood test that examines tiny fragments of genetic material from a pregnant person's bloodstream to learn about the baby’s chromosomes. Since the mother's blood contains small amounts of the baby's DNA, this non-invasive test can detect genetic conditions like Down syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities early in pregnancy. It’s safe for both mother and baby, providing valuable information without the risks associated with invasive procedures like amniocentesis. This technology helps expectant parents and healthcare providers make informed decisions about the pregnancy.
