Chorionic Villus Sampling
we offer Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) as a specialized prenatal diagnostic test to provide valuable insights into your baby’s health and development. CVS is a safe and effective procedure that allows for early detection of chromosomal abnormalities and genetic conditions, empowering parents with important information about their baby’s health.
What is Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)?
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) is a prenatal diagnostic test performed between 10 to 13 weeks of pregnancy to obtain a small sample of tissue from the placenta (chorionic villi). This tissue contains genetic material that can be analyzed to assess the baby’s chromosomal makeup and detect genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and other genetic disorders.
