Title: Prenatal Genetic Testing
Description: Many expectant parents are concerned about the possibility that their unborn child may have genetic disorders that could impair their long-term health or possibly the baby's capacity for survival. Prenatal genetic testing can reveal whether a foetus has specific medical issues while still inside the mother. We've created a tutorial to help you comprehend genetic testing better.

Gynecology
...
First and second trimester screening are combined in modified sequential screening
...
