Aktuelle Aspekte der Pränatalmedizin (UNI-MED Science) (PDF Book)
Pränataldiagnostik: Ultraschalldiagnostik, Invasive Methoden und genetische Diagnostik by Markus Stumm provides insights into prenatal diagnostics to help parents deal with the possibilities of having a child with congenital anomalies and disorders. In Germany, approximately 5% of newborns exhibit one or more congenital abnormalities or disorders, which are the second leading cause of infant mortality and the most common cause of death in childhood. This book provides a brief overview of legal regulations related to prenatal diagnostics, and covers current procedures for prenatal imaging diagnostics, including their possibilities and limitations in the chapter “Ultrasound diagnostics.” The chapter “Invasive methods and genetic diagnostics” describes the possibilities for invasive intervention and genetic diagnostics. The book summarizes current non-invasive prenatal testing procedures from maternal blood in the chapter “Non-invasive molecular genetic analysis.” The book concludes with a section on future developments in genetic diagnostics.
