Comprehensive Genetic Testing, Counseling, and Follow-Up Services in Burnsville
Scheduling a genetic counseling appointment in Burnsville can help you detect inherited health risks during your routine health visits or pregnancy care. Our genetic screenings give insight into your existing and potential health conditions, and help devise a care plan accordingly. If the screening is positive, we assign you a genetic counselor in Burnsville and/or a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Partner.
After a thorough examination, our specialists may recommend further tests such as CVS or Amniocentesis. These tests allow deeper checks to provide accurate answers and inform treatment plans.
This non-invasive prenatal genetic screening in Burnsville scans you for chromosomal differences, like Down syndrome, by testing the fetal DNA in the mother’s blood. It’s safe, low-risk, and can be done as early as 10 weeks for early clarity. It’s not diagnostic but offers precise information and may indicate if you need additional testing.
Aneuploidy happens when the baby has an extra or missing chromosome, like trisomy 18 or trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Prenatal genetic screening in Burnsville and diagnostic tests can identify these conditions at an early stage of pregnancy. Genetic counseling then helps interpret the results, review available options, and plan treatments or care.
Neural tube defects, including spina bifida, affect the baby’s brain or spine. This screening can involve blood work and detailed ultrasounds in your second trimester. If confirmed, the follow up may include imaging, counseling, and delivery planning so the baby gets specialized care at birth.
The baby’s organs and limbs may have structural differences or anatomic defects, sometimes detected in mid-pregnancy ultrasounds. Anatomic evaluations can reveal health issues in areas like the heart, kidneys, or facial structure. Early diagnosis helps you plan pre- and post-delivery care, giving you time to visit specialists and prepare.
