“An assortment of prenatal tests is available to identify physical defects in the fetus, chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, and genetic anomalies such as sickle-cell anemia. There are two general types of fetal tests: screening and diagnostic. Screening tests, including ultrasound and maternal blood tests, provide the information needed to determine whether diagnostic testing should be conducted. Diagnostic tests definitively show the absence or presence of a fetal abnormality.”
