摘要
There is a widening gap between geneticists' growing understanding of the roots of disease and their inability to detect those diseases in the womb. A new technique could allow doctors to spot hundreds of potential genetic problems in unborn babies but doctors fear the test could pick up genetic features that are difficult to interpret, causing extra anxiety for parents-to-be.
