∙ 12y ago
Prenatal diagnosis of a chromosome abnormality is only possible currently through two procedures: Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) and Amniocentesis. Both procedures are capable of diagnosing chromosome abnormalities, however they differ in several key ways including timing during the pregnancy and the type of specimen used to make the diagnosis. To find out which is most appropriate for you, please contact your primary care doctor or obstetrician.
