Prenatal screening can be used to determine if a fetus is at risk of having a specific condition. Prenatal screening typically returns results that let the parents know the risk that the fetus will be affected by a particular condition. For example, a fetus may have a risk that is &lt;1\/10,000, 1\/300, or 1\/2.<\/p>\n<p>Prenatal testing, in contrast to screening, is a diagnostic test that is done before birth and determines if a fetus has a specific condition. In many cases, a fetus will have prenatal screening, then, if found to be at higher risk for a condition, the family can decide if they want to pursue prenatal testing. Prenatal testing is \u201cdiagnostic,\u201d meaning it will determine if the fetus does or does not have a specific condition.<\/p>\n<p>Prenatal testing is typically more invasive than prenatal screening. For example, a screen is often done by collecting a blood sample from the mother alone or with an ultrasound. Prenatal testing, on the other hand, is often done by amniocentesis, where a needle is used to collect amniotic fluid from the uterus. The amniotic fluid has skin and other cells from the fetus, which can be tested to determine if the fetus has a genetic condition. While low risk, amniocentesis does have the potential to cause miscarriages. Thus, medical providers typically only offer amniocentesis to those whose risk of having an affected fetus is higher than the risk of miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>Several policy issues arise when discussing prenatal screening.
