Prenatal screening for congenital malformations of the fetus
VLKOJANOVÁ, Lucie
This Thesis describes the prenatal screening objectives, giving account of the individual screenings being carried out at various stages of pregnancy, their significance and importance. Causes behind the innate defects and their breakdown are further discussed. The individual biochemical markers that form a part of biochemical screening are described in detail. The Thesis deals with invasive and non-invasive techniques in prenatal diagnostics. The Thesis followed as its goal the efforts to find out whether or not and how the gravidas are informed of the prenatal screening potentials, if their approach to the issue is active, if they really take a recommended screening. Within its last objective the Thesis was to identify the women who gave birth to a child with an inborn defect despite that they had taken the screening.
