title: American Academy of Pediatrics: Committee on Genetics. Prenatal diagnosis for pediatricians.
abstract: Pediatricians should be familiar with the principles of antenatal diagnosis and how they should be applied to specific problems in genetic counseling, diagnosis, and management in clinical practice. At the same time, pediatricians should be familiar with the resources for the new technology available to them in their region, and they should assure themselves that the performance of antenatal diagnosis meets current standards.
