You can perform a carrier screening either before or during pregnancy. Aneuploidy, neural tube abnormalities (NTDs), and various deformities of the abdomen, heart, and facial features can all be detected in the foetus using prenatal genetic screening tests of the pregnant woman's blood and results from ultrasound examinations.

Genetic testing identifies changes in chromosomes or genes linked to various conditions including inherited disorders and some cancers. In Singapore, this test is carried out using blood or saliva samples with results usually available within 2-4 weeks.
Singapore's public healthcare system offers subsidized genetic testing, while private facilities offer faster results. Precise cost depends on the specific test.
