Is DNA testing during pregnancy risky?

Publicado el: 26/08/2023

Technological advances in DNA analysis have allowed us to resolve such disturbing questions as whether our child will develop a hereditary disease, even before birth. DNA testing during pregnancy is no longer a dangerous test, as long as you rely on the services of a specialized laboratory with the appropriate means.

In certain contexts, such as the advanced age of the parents, a history of hereditary diseases or an abnormality during pregnancy, future parents may be led to undergo a DNA test during pregnancy. This is a test that works with two types of material, the chorionic villus and the amniotic fluid, without causing any harm to the fetus.

At LabGenetics, we also always consider this type of test to be urgent in our ranking of priorities. Within a maximum of 24 hours, parents can receive a complete report on possible chromosomal disorders in the fetus that give rise to syndromes such as Down’s, Patau’s, Turner’s or Klinefelter’s. It should be noted that 4% of live newborns have some type of congenital defect.

A variety of DNA tests designed to adapt to each particular case

Specifically, our range of tests covers the verification of known family mutations, hereditary diseases and chromosomal aberrations. We offer a DNA test during pregnancy adapted to the circumstances of each mother and with full guarantees that the fetus will not be harmed in the process.

If you are interested in receiving this information from a completely reliable source, LabGenetics has all the current certificates, the latest technologies in the sector and qualified professionals willing to work for the highest possible accuracy in results. We know how important this information will be for your future, so we will achieve the accuracy you need.
