Front 1

A needle is inserted thought the abdominal wall to obtain a sample of fluid in the uterus. Cells are examined for genetic defects. Can be performed by the 14th weeks after conception; 1 to 2 more weeks are required for test results. small risk of miscarriage.

Front 2

thin tube inserted into the uterus through the vagina or a hollow needle is inserted through the abdominal wall. a small tissue is removed from the end of the chronic villo. the hairlike projections on the membrane surrounding the developing organism. Cells are examined for genetic defects. Can be perforemed at 9 weeks after conception

Front 5

some of the developing organism's cells enter the maternal bloodstream. Isolated cells can be examined for genetic defects.

Maternal blood analysis

Front 6

After in vitro fertilization and duplication of the zygote into a cluster of cells, one or two cells are removed and examined for hereditary defects. Only if that sample is normal is the fertilized ovum implanted.
