This service is a blood test done during pregnancy that analyzes small fragments of the baby's DNA circulating in the mother's bloodstream to screen for specific chromosomal deletion syndromes - conditions caused by a missing piece of a chromosome that can be linked to birth defects or developmental conditions.
