Prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities

Abstract

Having a genetically healthy offspring is, in fact, a great success for any state. In this regard, the main purpose of genetic testing is to raise a healthy generation. Prenatal diagnosis is a medical process aimed primarily at identifying inherited diseases and developmental defects in the fetus. Prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis is the study of chromosome-level samples in the fetus before birth (1). Prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis allows to predict spontaneous abortions and intrauterine growth retardation, to reduce the prevalence of chromosomal diseases and their serious complications.
