Common tests yes: Not all single gene disorders are tested, common ones, and targeted ones, family history with genetic counselor can help target testing

Amniocentesis: can check routinely for a number of problems (not just specific tests requested by a doctor). Some examples could be neural tube defects, Down syndrome, Trisomy 21 & cystic fibrosis.
