Abstract
Dr. Ed McCabe, Chief of the Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA, talks about prenatal tests that can be done to test for signs of mental retardation in the fetus. "Down's Syndrome is certainly one that we're very aware of and that we know how to test for. It's a chromosome test," Dr. McCabe explains. He also discusses Fragile X Syndrome, noting that we've gone from a less than reliable chromosomal test to a very good DNA test based on the human genome project.
