Prenatal Invasive Testing videos and information
Welcome to the NEY Genomic Medicine Service
You have been offered an amniocentesis or chorionic villus biopsy in your pregnancy (a prenatal genetic invasive test), which may be because you have a family history of a genetic condition, received a higher chance screening result, or there has been an unexpected finding seen on your ultrasound scan.
The videos and written information below are designed to give you more information about these tests and should be viewed alongside the NHS PHE Screening in pregnancy CVS and Amniocentesis information for parents and discussions with your healthcare provider.
