  2. Chorionic villus sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorionic_villus_sampling

    It entails sampling of the chorionic villus (placental tissue) and testing it for chromosomal abnormalities, usually with FISH or PCR. CVS usually takes place at 10–12 weeks' gestation, earlier than amniocentesis or percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling. It is the preferred technique before 15 weeks. [2]

  3. Confined placental mosaicism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confined_placental_mosaicism

    In theory, CPM is when the trisomic cells are found only in the placenta. CPM is detected in approximately 1-2% of ongoing pregnancies that are studied by chorionic villus sampling (CVS) at 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy. Chorionic villus sampling is a prenatal procedure which involves a placental biopsy.

  4. Trisomy 16 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisomy_16

    Micrograph showing chorionic villi-the tissue that is collected in CVS. During pregnancy, women can be screened by chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis to detect trisomy 16. With the advent of noninvasive techniques for detecting aneuploidy , prenatal screening with tests using Next Generation Sequencing can be utilised before invasive ...

  5. Amniocentesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amniocentesis

    Amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling is necessary to conclusively diagnose the majority of genetic disorders, with amniocentesis being the gold-standard procedure after 15 weeks' gestation. [3] Transabdominal chorionic villus sampling is an alternative to amniocentesis if genetic diagnostic testing is to be performed in the first ...

  6. Prenatal testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_testing

    Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and Amniocentesis are the most invasive prenatal tests because there is greater associated risk and the sample is more difficult to access. These procedures are done via needle insertion into the abdomen to collect a sample within the uterus, meaning exceptional care/precision is required. [ 38 ]

  7. Prenatal sex discernment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_sex_discernment

    Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis are two rather invasive testing procedures. These may, in principle, be performed as early as the 8th and the 9th week of pregnancy. These may, in principle, be performed as early as the 8th and the 9th week of pregnancy.

  8. Miscarriage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscarriage

    Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are procedures conducted to assess the fetus. A sample of amniotic fluid is obtained by the insertion of a needle through the abdomen and into the uterus. Chorionic villus sampling is a similar procedure with a sample of tissue removed rather than fluid.

  9. Placentitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placentitis

    Histopathology of acute subchorionic intervillositis, with neutrophils in Langhan’s layer of fibrinoid (by the fetal surface, at the base of a chorionic villus, seen at top right). Placentitis is an inflammation of the placenta. The main forms of placentitis are: Villitis, inflammation of chorionic villi.
