Gender identification If gender identification is requested, we can screen the sex chromosomes and report on whether the chromosomes present mean the baby is likely to be a male or a female. In twin pregnancies, it is only possible to determine if the Y chromosome is present, which if detected means at least one of the babies is likely to be a male. |
