What does prenatal DNA testing entail?

Let's begin by looking at the etymology of the word prenatal: the prefix pre in the word prenatal implies "before" whilst the word natal is derived from the latin word "natalis", meaning of or relating to one's birth. Thus, Prenatal DNA testing, as the name implies, involves obtaining samples of genetic material from the child before it's birth. A number of methods are available nowadays to extract a sample of genetic material during pregnancy. Amniocentesis and Chorionic villus sampling are two fetal DNA sampling methods that are still widely used nowadays. However, as science progresses new, non invasive methods have been developed. Examples of non invasive tests include prenatal testing to determine the paternity of the child before birth or to determine chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. Another example is the gender prediction tests uses fetal DNA in maternal urine. These tests have proven to have levels of success that exceed 99%.

Scientists and researchers are extremely optimistic about the future of non invasive fetal DNA sampling that relies entirely on samples of maternal blood. It is indeed likely that in the near future, all forms of prenatal tests could become risk free, quick, and painless. It is already being used to determine paternity as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy and this test is now available on the market. Sequencing of fetal DNA in the maternal blood has also proved a success in tracing certain autoimmune disorders in the unborn fetus in a way that is zero risk.
