Summary
Invasive prenatal tests, including chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, fetal blood sampling, and fetal tissue biopsy, allow examination of fetal genetic material and tissue and provide information for the management of fetal infections and anemia. The specific test employed is usually dependent on the indication, parental wishes, and the timing of preceding screening tests.
