A Hemophilia is a genetic defect and is best detected with chromosomal studies
such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis.
B An open neural tube allows a high level of AFP to seep into the amniotic fluid
and enter the maternal serum.
C Sickle cell is a genetic defect and is best detected with chromosomal studies such
as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis.
D L/S ratios are determined with an amniocentesis and is usually done in the third
trimester.
