Last Update: 02/18/2022

Amniocentesis is an invasive prenatal technique that is recommended from the age of 35; while from the age of 40 it becomes a mandatory test.

This technique will also be recommended in women who have had a history of repeated miscarriages or other previous pregnancies with chromosomal alterations, regardless of age.
