I am also wondering if these tests are standard or only done if there is a family history? Please do let me know what your doctor suggests during your next scan.
Yes, it is absolutely detectable during pregnancy through CVS or amniocentesis at any good multi-specialty hospital. Just book an appointment with a fetal medicine specialist who can explain the process in Tamil or English.

I don't know much about this, but I think doctors in Chennai or other big cities can guide you about these genetic tests. It is better to ask a specialist so you get clear answers.
Yes, genetic conditions like muscular dystrophy can be detected through special tests like amniocentesis, but please discuss this thoroughly with your gynac first. They will explain the procedure and safety of the test in detail.
