How is Trisomy 13 Diagnosed?

The diagnosis of Trisomy 13 can be made prenatally or postnatally. Prenatal diagnosis includes:
- Ultrasound: Abnormal findings may prompt further testing.
- Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT): Analyzes fetal DNA in maternal blood.
- Amniocentesis: A sample of amniotic fluid is taken to analyze fetal chromosomes.
- Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS): A sample of placental tissue is tested.
Postnatal diagnosis is confirmed by a karyotype analysis of the baby’s blood.
