A high risk result does not mean the baby definitely has a chromosomal anomaly; rather, it indicates a very high probability that your baby has that condition. No irreversible decisions should be made without follow-up diagnostic testing (CVS/amniocentesis). Please follow up with your healthcare providers about next steps. Again, LifeLabs Genetics is here to assist you and your healthcare provider along the way. For more resources regarding specific syndromes, please visit the following links:
