from the 17th week of pregnancy
Objective:
- Clarification of a possible chromosomal change – after a conspicuous NIPT or Screening 12 or in the case of an increased risk for familial hereditary genetic diseases
During amniocentesis, amniotic fluid is removed from the amniotic sac through the abdominal wall using a thin needle – under constant ultrasound monitoring. The detached cells of the fetus contained in the amniotic fluid are used to clarify any chromosomal changes.
- First results are available approx. 24-72 hours after the examination.
