Question
Can pregnant women with chromosomal abnormalities undergo non-invasive DNA testing?
Answer
If the mother has chromosomal abnormalities, it is recommended to proceed directly with amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis, as the accuracy of non-invasive DNA testing is only around 70%, which is not sufficiently accurate for high-risk situations. Regular prenatal check-ups are necessary to closely monitor the fetus’s health status. If a chromosomal abnormality is confirmed, the child should be referred to a specialist for follow-up consultations and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily care, attention should be paid to diet, and enough care and attention should be given to the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
