Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test performed between the 10th and 13th weeks of pregnancy. It involves extracting a small sample of placental tissue to test for genetic disorders. CVS offers earlier diagnostic results compared to amniocentesis, enhancing early decision-making for expecting parents. Chorionic Villus Sampling is a highly specialised procedure.
