Doctors use ultrasound and blood tests in the first trimester to identify potential genetic conditions in the fetus.
Detailed scans help monitor fetal growth and detect physical differences that may be linked to genetic disorders.
A small sample from the placenta is tested to analyse the baby’s genetic makeup during early pregnancy.
If a genetic disorder is detected, parents receive guidance on potential risks and planning for future pregnancies.
Early detection provides parents with essential information to explore available medical options and make informed decisions.
