遗传筛查

The goal of genetic screening is to identify potential issues during pregnancy. 这些筛查表明婴儿出生时是否有遗传疾病或先天性异常的风险增加. 放映包括:

载体筛选: This DNA test tells parents if they carry a gene that can cause a congenital disorder. The test can be performed before or during pregnancy.

Cell-free DNA screening (also called noninvasive prenatal testing or NIPT): 这种血液检查(仅使用母亲的血液)评估婴儿染色体异常的可能性, 尤其是唐氏综合症.

First trimester blood test and nuchal translucency ultrasound: A combination of a blood test and ultrasound, 这个测试表明你是否有更高的机会生下患有唐氏综合症或其他遗传疾病的孩子.

多重标记筛选(MMS): The MMS includes several tests using blood from the mother. 这些检查特别能发现神经管缺陷和其他一些先天性异常的迹象.

顺序筛选: This procedure involves two blood tests and an ultrasound. 它评估神经管缺陷(如脊柱裂)和某些遗传异常的风险.

产前诊断测试

These tests allow your doctor to diagnose some conditions in an unborn baby. 你的医生可能会建议:

羊膜穿刺术: 在这个过程中，你的医生用针从子宫中取出羊水. A lab examines the fluid to check for chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders.

绒毛膜绒毛取样: 你的医生会取一小块正在发育的胎盘，它附着在子宫壁上. CVS diagnoses chromosome problems, genetic disorders and some congenital abnormalities.

胎儿超声心动图: 这张未出生婴儿心脏的详细超声图显示了心脏的发育情况以及它是否正常工作.

妊娠中期解剖超声: 这种成像研究检查婴儿解剖结构的异常，并能识别某些先天性问题.

脐带取样: 医生从婴儿的脐带中取出血液，并检测血液中的染色体异常.
