Chromosome Analysis Amniotic Fluid Test
Introduction
The Chromosome Analysis Amniotic Fluid Test is a critical prenatal diagnostic tool used to assess the chromosomal health of a developing fetus. By analyzing amniotic fluid, this test can detect chromosomal abnormalities that may lead to genetic disorders. Understanding the genetic makeup of the fetus is essential for expectant parents, especially when there is a risk of hereditary conditions.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the chromosomal composition of the fetus by analyzing the amniotic fluid. It detects abnormalities such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18, and other chromosomal anomalies that can impact fetal development.
