As a prenatal examination, prenatal testing allows certain genetic variants to be specifically examined in the DNA from chorionic villi, amniotic fluid or fetal blood during pregnancy. This can be particularly important if a genetic disease is known in the family or if there is an increased risk. Sanger sequencing can be used to detect or rule out the already known genetic variant. If you are pregnant and wish to undergo prenatal diagnostics, you will receive genetic counseling before the test and a second time after the test results are available in our genetic consultation.

Material: Chorionic villi, amniotic fluid or fetal blood or the DNA already isolated from these, as well as a blood sample from the mother (2.7 ml EDTA blood) to rule out contamination
