[Prenatal diagnosis in Denmark, development, current status and future trends].
The fields of indication for prenatal diagnostics in Denmark have hardly varied since 1981. The number of amniocenteses has remained almost constant since 1984 while the number of chorion villus biopsies has risen in the past year. This reflects the fact that many women seek prenatal diagnosis while this can be made before attainment of the abortion limit in the 12th week of pregnancy. There is at present no political desire to extent the age limits for prenatal diagnostics, or to introduce serum-AFP-screening or general ultrasonic screening of expectant mothers.
