چکیده
In this article, we will review the history and the evolution of the technique of amniocentesis and the indications of the most common invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. Moreover, the most common complications of amniocentesis will be presented. Finally, we will try to establish if the use of con current ultrasound had any effect on the prevalence on these complications.

متن کاملI-40: Non Invasive Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis;Current Status and The Future
Discovery of cell free fetal DNA in 1997 has deeply changed the outlook of prenatal diagnosis approaches as most of the clinically established screening tests are not sensitive/specific enough while the current practical diagnostic tests are also invasive in their nature. The most common prenatal screening test is routinely practiced for the diagnosis of Down syndrome (DS) which includes a 10% ...
