AB  - Prenatal  diagnosis  refers  to  those  testing  modalities  used  during  pregnancy  to  screen  and  diagnose  fetal  aneuploidies  and  anomalies.  Counseling  is  recommended,  ideally  in  the  first  trimester,  prior  to  pursuing  any  type  of  prenatal  screening  or  diagnostic  testing.  Screening  tests  provide  risk  assessment  and  determine  whether  the  individual  is  at  increased  risk  for  having  a  fetus  with  a  genetic  condition.  Diagnostic  testing  determines  if  the  fetus  is  affected  by  a  chromosomal  or  genetic  abnormality  by  analyzing  the  fetal  DNA  through  invasive  testing.  Evolving  technology  has  made  the  use,  interpretation,  and  choice  of  appropriate  test  for  each  individual  challenging  for  both  patients  and  providers.
