Amniocentesis is a medical procedure used in prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities and fetal infections, and also for sex determination, in which a small amount of amniotic fluid, which contains fetal tissues, is sampled from the amniotic sac surrounding a developing fetus. The procedure can detect conditions like hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and Down's syndrome through the analysis of the fetal DNA found in the amniotic fluid. However, it is not typically used to detect bone deformities, as these are usually diagnosed through ultrasound imaging rather than genetic testing.
