There are two basic types of DNA testing that can be done before delivery. These include amniocentesis and CVS, or Chorionic Villus Sampling. An amniocentesis is generally performed during the second trimester of pregnancy. Typically, it would take place between the 14th and the 20th week of pregnancy.
If the mutation leading to SCID in a family is known, an at-risk pregnancy can be tested by sequencing DNA from the fetus. However, SCID is so rare that prenatal testing of a baby with no family history is probably not justified because the test is so expensive.
