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.
