Patient's question:
I am currently 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Today, I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. The doctor said that next time I come to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, I can have the non-invasive DNA test. Could you please explain how the non-invasive DNA test works?Doctor's answer:
Testing non-invasive deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from pregnant women by collecting blood. Chromosomes can be used to check if the fetus has the possibility of genetic diseases. Non-invasive prenatal genetic testing is to collect 10 milliliters of peripheral blood from pregnant women, extract free deoxyribonucleic acid (including deoxyribonucleic acid from pregnant women and deoxyribonucleic acid from the fetus) from the blood to analyze the chromosomal status of the fetus, which is safer. This is a relatively safe examination. I suggest you go to the hospital for relevant examinations on your current condition.
