What Conditions Can Be Diagnosed Prenatally Using Histology?
Histological examination can help in diagnosing a range of conditions: - Genetic Disorders: Conditions like Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and cystic fibrosis can be identified through chromosomal and molecular analysis. - Congenital Anomalies: Structural abnormalities such as neural tube defects or heart malformations can be detected. - Infections: Intrauterine infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites can be identified through histological examination of the placenta and fetal tissues.
