The correct answer is chorionic villus sampling.  

Chorionic villus sampling is a kind of prenatal diagnosis to find the genetic or chromosomal disorders in the fetus. The transcervical method is done by administering a thin plastic tube via the cervix and vagina to reach the placenta. A small sample of chorionic villus tissue is then withdrawn.  

The chorionic villi are the projections of placental tissue, which share the genetic makeup of the baby. The chorionic villus sampling is generally done between the weeks 10 and 13 of pregnancy.

Even though cancer genomes are overall hypomethylated, explain why some genes are hypermethylated in cancer cells. Drag the term
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Hypermethylation of___ promoters will lead to reduced expression of the correspondent genes. Some genes such as Cell Cycle stop genes _and__DNA repair genes_need to be expressed. When they__are not expressed_, this can lead to cancer.

Explanation:

Oncogenes are genes that may trigger cancer, where they are generally overexpressed (i.e., expressed at high levels). Although there are well-documented exceptions to this rule, DNA methylation generally represses gene expression by preventing the binding of transcription factors to promoters. It is known that the hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes including, for example, cell cycle stop genes and DNA repair genes, may lead to cancer. Similarly, hypomethylation of oncogenes such as, for example, Cyclin D1 (a cyclin-dependent kinase involved in cell cycle progression), may also contribute to carcinogenesis.
