Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) is a prenatal diagnostic test used to detect genetic and chromosomal abnormalities in the baby early in pregnancy. Typically performed between 10 and 13 weeks of gestation, CVS allows for early detection and decision-making in high-risk pregnancies.
The procedure involves collecting a small sample of cells from the placenta (chorionic villi), which share the baby’s genetic makeup. These cells are then tested in the lab to identify conditions such as:
- Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)
- Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia
- Cystic fibrosis
- Tay-Sachs disease and other inherited disorders

- Abnormal first-trimester screening results
- Family history of genetic disorders
- Known genetic conditions in either parent
