Fetal chondrodysplasia can be detected during pregnancy. At present, the main ways of examination include ultrasound, amniocentesis and so on.
1. Ultrasound examination: Fetal chondrodysplasia is an autosomal dominant disease caused by genetic alteration. The main clinical manifestations of the child include abnormal development of cartilage in all bones. Measurement of the baby’s skeletal data, especially biparietal diameter and femur length, can be used to determine whether the fetus has chondrodysplasia during pregnancy.
2. Amniocentesis: Because fetal chondrodysplasia is a chromosomal dominant disease, amniocentesis can be used to determine whether the fetus has this disease.
Therefore, fetal chondrodysplasia can be detected during pregnancy. If the test reveals that the fetus has chondrodysplasia, the doctor can determine whether the pregnancy needs to be terminated after a comprehensive evaluation.
