    Study Notes

    Amniocentesis

    • Performed on pregnant women at 16-18 weeks gestation.
    • Involves removing a small amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus.
    • Analysis of fetal cells in the fluid reveals fetal gender, age, and potential genetic issues.

    Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)

    • Performed when the fetus is 10-12 weeks old.
    • Involves removing a small piece of the placenta.
    • Examination of placental genes identifies potential genetic disorders.
