Amniocentesis in pregnancies at or beyond 24 weeks: An international multicenter study

Amniocentesis for genetic diagnosis is most commonly done between 15 and 22 weeks of gestation, but can be performed at later gestational ages. The safety and genetic diagnostic accuracy of amniocentesis have been well-established through numerous large-scale, multicenter studies for procedures before 24 weeks, but comprehensive data on late amniocentesis remain sparse.
