What is a gender prediction test?
gender prediction is a test performed in pregnant women or pregnant women to determine the sex of infants. Traditional medical methods for determining sex in the past and currently include sampling of chorionic lips (CVS), amniocentesis and ultrasound. Before developing methods, a number of concepts based on folklores tried to precisely serve as tests of gender prediction.
The old gender predictor test may include any number of factors. If a woman carried a child "low", she was usually pregnant with a boy. The desire for sweet things meant that you were carrying a girl. Acne also reportedly indicates a girl and having uneven breasts means a boy. Of course, these types of gender predictions are inaccurate. But with only 50% chance of going wrong, there were enough women who were curious about the sex of their unborn child, willing to try a few to guess the sex of the child.
The introduction of CVS, amniocents and ultrasound has brought a greater accuracy of gender prediction test. OverThere were still chances to go wrong. CVS is one of the first tests performed and has risk factors for abortion. Most women undergo CVS if they are at high risk that children with serious health problems or genetic anomalies, not because they wish to use sampling as a gender prediction test.
In the CVS, a small amount of placenta of the material is carefully removed from the uterus. Placenta sampling is usually taken during the later part of the first trimester of pregnancy and. Because chromosomes are analyzed, CVS can accurately predict the sex of the child by detecting the presence of chromosomes.
amniocentesis is not used as a sex prediction test, but to detect possible problems with the child. This is usually done between the 16th and 20th week of pregnancy and analyzes a small amount of amniotic amniotic amniotic to find chromosomethe problems of problems. It can detect the presence of y chromosomes.
Less invasive sex prediction test is ultrasound or sonogram. Ultrasound will be the most reliably predict sex after 18 weeks. They do not always work. Some children are "shy" and do not want to turn to sonographs to provide a complete look. Ultrasound is sometimes inaccurate. Labial folds can sometimes look like a penis or penis can be difficult to visualize.
One of the latest trends is mothers using a non -invasive test prediction test. The most popular is Baby Gender Mentor® from ACU-GEN. It uses a sample of a small finger blood to test for the presence of Y-chromosome. The mother performs a test, usually after 8 weeks of pregnancy, and sends the result to the ACU-GEN laboratory. The company claims the rate of accuracy of 99.9% and refunds money, about $ 275 (USD) if the test turns out to be bad. Some are accuracy, with some women who are now coming to claim that ACU-GEN did not work. Acu-GenHe did not publish his specific test methods waiting for the patent status for his test.
It is also concerned that the sex prediction test of this type would lead to sex selection. In other words, women could interrupt children who were not the sex they wanted. It is considered less likely in the US, but more likely in countries where one sex is preferred. Regardless of the attitude to abortions, many bio-eThics feel that sex selection disrupts the natural order of gender distribution and can result in sex imbalances if it is practiced on a wide scale.
