What does AMNIO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalmedical
A shortened, informal name for amniocentesis, a medical test that samples amniotic fluid to check for problems in a developing fetus.
Doctors perform an amnio by inserting a thin needle through the abdomen into the uterus to withdraw a small amount of amniotic fluid for laboratory testing. Expecting parents sometimes choose an amnio when earlier screening suggests a possible genetic condition or chromosomal abnormality. The shortened word amnio is common in casual medical conversation, while amniocentesis remains the formal term used in clinical documents.
