The 11 pages that link to Amniocentesis, each with the reason it gives.

• Prenatal diagnosisBroader topic: It provides fetal cells and other material for diagnostic testing.

• Congenital anomalyRelated: It can provide diagnostic information when screening or family history raises concern.

• Prenatal screeningCompared with: Unlike screening, it can provide diagnostic evidence, though it is invasive.

• Maternal–fetal medicineRelated: It can clarify genetic or infectious diagnoses when prenatal findings raise concern.

• Prenatal ultrasonographyCompared with: Unlike imaging, it obtains fetal-derived material for diagnostic laboratory testing.

• Amniotic fluidRelated: The sample can be analyzed for fetal genetic conditions, infection, or other clinical indications.

• Human embryonic developmentCompared with: Unlike direct observation of early embryogenesis, it tests pregnancy after the embryonic period.

• Jérôme LejeuneRelated: Chromosome analysis of fetal cells made prenatal detection of trisomy 21 possible, a use Lejeune opposed.

• Sex-selective abortionRelated: It can identify chromosomal sex, though it is not generally performed solely for that purpose.

• Obstetrics and gynaecologyBroader topic: It can provide diagnostic information after selected prenatal screening results.
