Are there prenatal genetic tests for Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome?

Yes, if your ultrasounds reveal potential signs of BWS, healthcare providers use amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling to detect potential BWS before your child is born. Pre-natal genetic testing is a personal decision. Your provider or a genetic counselor will discuss the tests’ potential risks and benefits and answer your questions about the tests’ processes. You have final say about going forward with pre-natal genetic tests for BWS.
