The most reliable technique for prenatal diagnosis after chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is the combination of the analysis of both STC- and LTC-villi to reduce the incidence of false-negative findings to a minimum. In the case of fetal ultrasound abnormalities with a small amount of villi available, the investigation of LTC-villi is recommended over that of STC-villi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
