Step 1
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS): This is a prenatal test where a sample of chorionic villi (tiny finger-like projections on the placenta) is taken to test for specific genetic disorders. This procedure can be done earlier in the pregnancy compared to amniocentesis Show more…

a. The first indication of a genetic disease comes from genetic testing done prior to conception. b. There are two methods of obtaining prenatal tests to collect fetal cells. c. Amniocentesis is when a sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus of a pregnant woman is collected by passing a long needle through the abdominal and uterine walls in order to collect fetal cells. d. Chorionic villus sampling is when a sample of fetal cells is collected from the region where the placenta will develop. e. In adults, white blood cells are used for genetic testing. f. Once the DNA has been isolated, geneticists can either look for chromosomal changes or specific alleles that indicate a disease.
