Genetic Sonogram

Genetic Sonogram

A Genetic Sonogram is an advanced ultrasound procedure recommended when the risk of Down Syndrome is suspected during pregnancy. This test provides a detailed evaluation of the fetus, helping doctors assess genetic health and plan the right medical care for the mother and baby.

What is a Genetic Sonogram?

A genetic sonogram is carried out when the Down Syndrome ultrasound screening  shows increased risk. During this test, specific fetal characteristics are closely examined through ultrasound imaging. These markers help doctors determine whether the risk of Down Syndrome is higher or lower.

What Does the Test Detect?

During a Genetic Sonogram , the following ultrasound markers are carefully analyzed:

• Nasal bone development

• Nuchal fold thickness

• Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery

• Minor ventriculomegaly

By studying these signs, fetal medicine experts can provide an updated evaluation of the baby’s genetic health.

Role of Fetal Genetic Testing

Along with the sonogram, fetal genetic testing plays a crucial role in confirming results. These tests offer additional insights into chromosomal abnormalities, helping parents take informed decisions regarding their baby’s health.

Genetic Counseling in Pregnancy

If abnormalities are detected, genetic counseling in pregnancy helps expecting parents understand the risks and possible next steps. Counseling sessions ensure that families receive emotional support and medical guidance for a safe pregnancy journey.

High-Risk Pregnancy Genetic Counseling

Some pregnancies are considered high-risk due to maternal age, family history, or previous abnormal screening results. In such cases, high-risk pregnancy genetic counseling  provides specialized care and continuous monitoring to protect both mother and baby.
