Amniocentesis:
It is a medical procedure used primarily in the prenatal diagnosis of genetic conditions.
Genetic disorders like Down's syndrome (21st trisomy) etc. can be detected in this technique.
There is a statutory ban on amniocentesis for sex-determination to legally check increasing menace of female foeticides.
Amniocentesis is not a sex determination technique in our country and is not a strategy of RCH.
