“…Ultrasound abnormalities were the main reason for invasive testing (86.3%, p < 0.001). More chorionic villus sampling procedures were needed per abnormal karyotype in adolescents (3.25) vs. women 20–34 (2.42) or ≥35 years (2.19), while fewer amniocenteses were required (6.68 vs. 7.37 and 8.44).ConclusionAdolescents show unique chromosomal abnormalities, underscoring the need for tailored prenatal counseling and diagnostics.…”
