Summary Introduction
Introduction: Prenatal diagnosis is referred as the assessment of embryonal or fetal set of chromosomes. It is used to detect chromosomal aberrations, monogenetic diseases, and multifactorial diseases. There are two main diagnostic testing procedures done prenatally. They are amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
