Chorionic villus sampling can be carried out between the 11th and 14th weeks of pregnancy to detect genetic or chromosomal conditions such as Down's Syndrome, Patau's syndrome and sickle cell disease. During CVS, a small sample of cells is removed from the chorionic villus (part of the placenta) either transabdominally or transcervically. Other complications include infection and a crampy abdominal pain.
