Prenatal Diagnostic Testing

Prenatal diagnostic testing refers to medical procedures used during pregnancy to check for genetic disorders or conditions in the developing fetus. These tests can include blood tests, ultrasounds, and more invasive procedures like amniocentesis. The goal is to provide expectant parents with information about the health of their baby, allowing them to make informed decisions. Prenatal and preconception genetic counseling supports this process by offering guidance on genetic risks, testing options, and potential outcomes, helping families understand their choices and prepare for potential challenges.
