Additionally the unit provides genetic counseling for pregnant women including chemical screening tests such as first semester identification of Down's Syndrome, fetal protein test, amniocentesis and testing of the placental base, congenital birth defects diagnosed via ultrasound, exposure to medications, chemicals and other risk factors.
