A CONCRETE AND ETHICAL REVERENCES FOR NONINVASIVE PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS OF FETAL ANEUPLOIDY PRESENT IN MATERNAL BLOOD

Abstract

Down's syndrome could be diagnosed before conception (prenatally) or after life commencement (postnatally). Throughout pregnancy, there are two sorts of tests that could be carried out to search for Down's syndrome - a screening test and an indicative test. A screening test takes a gander at the risk in this pregnancy of the toddler being conceived with Down's syndrome. It doesn't give a categorical "yes" or "no" reply. In the event that your screening test shows a higher risk that the toddler has Down's syndrome, you will be offered a symptomatic test to check whether the infant really does have Down's syndrome or not. The two fundamental tests that are utilized to diagnose Down's syndrome prenatally are amniocentesis & chorionic villus sampling. There is a little danger of complications with indicative tests, incorporating unsuccessful labor. Screening tests don't build your danger of premature delivery.
