Amniocentesis is an invasive pre-natal diagnostic test which is performed in order to determine whether the baby has certain genetic abnormalities, malformations or infections.
- Detection of an intra-uterine infection
- Diagnostics for genetic afflictions with a 99% precision
- Evaluation of the baby’s health
- Specific molecular tests
The procedure consists in the extraction of a small quantity of amniotic liquid from the amniotic sack. This liquid is the one where the fetus floats and which contains fetal cells which, after being extracted by amniocentesis, are subsequently analysed in a laboratory in order to detect genetic abnormalities.
