Chorionic villus sampling is a prenatal diagnostic test performed for prenatal genetic testing involving a biopsy of placental tissue between 10 to 13 weeks gestation. The tissue harvested is the ...
Cedars-Sinai and UCLA investigators have studied first trimester placental tissue and found that for some genes, the process that turns their information into a biological function may depend on the ...

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of using a targeted array-CGH strategy for prenatal diagnosis of genomic imbalances in a clinical setting of current pregnancies. Methods: ...
Team found that MLPA assay can identify fetal DNA without invasive sampling. Netherlands-based researchers suggest that a technique currently used to detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities in maternal ...
Chromosome mosaicism is detected in about 1–2% of chorionic villi samples (CVS), and may be due to a postzygotic nondisjunction event generating a trisomic cell line in an initially normal conceptus ...
