Most pregnancies end in the birth of a child who is normal healthy and with, a good quality of life. However, about 3% of pregnancies result in the birth of children with abnormalities.It is the constant endeavour of those in the medical profession who are charged with the responsibility of caring for pregnant women, to look for clues, which might suggest that the foetus might be at risk for a serious medical disorder

About 20 years ago even if such a suspicion was raised doctors could do very little to prove or disprove their doubts. They therfore had very little evidence to advise the parents in a meaningful way.

In a short span of twenty years technology has transformed this scene.Today with advances in molecular biology ultrasonography and safe techniques for obtaining material from a pregnancy, many conditions including genetic diseases can be identified in early pregnancy.This gives the parents an opportunity to make an informed choice regarding the future health of their offspring.Since the majority of the pregnancies end in the birth of normal children one cannot subject every pregnancy to such invasive studies. Therfore a number of screening techniques are offered to pregnant women to try and identify those who will benefit the most from detailed studies.
