CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling) is a procedure in which a catheter is inserted through the vagina to collect cells from the developing placenta. It is used to detect chromosomal abnormalities and other genetic disorders in the developing fetus. Amniocentesis involves collecting amniotic fluid using a needle, AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein screening) is a blood test, and DC (Dilation and Curettage) is a surgical procedure that involves removing tissue from the uterus. These procedures are not used to collect cells for genetic testing during pregnancy.
