Two most common clinical techniques for obtaining living fetal cell products from pregnant uterus for prenatal diagnosis
amniocentesis
chorionic villus sampling
also known as cordocentesis
percuteaneous umbilical blood sampling
inserting of a long, fine gauged needle under ultrasound guidance through the skin, subcutaneous tissues, peritoneum, uterus, and amniotic sac of mother’s abdomen and tapping one of the fetal umbilical vessels directly for microliter amounts of fetal blood to analyze
