Patient's question:
Down syndrome screening result, 21-trisomy syndrome risk value: 1:460, screening result: borderline risk, 18-trisomy syndrome risk value: 1:100,000, screening result: low risk, open neural tube defect, screening marriage: cannot be calculated. The doctor asked me to have a prenatal diagnosis, and I don't know what to do. If the results are still like this, an amniocentesis will be needed for a definitive diagnosis, but the risk is so high. I just hope the baby is healthy! Is this 21-trisomy syndrome a serious matter?Doctor's answer:

Therefore, it should be avoided as much as possible. The incidence probability of borderline high risk is relatively high, and amniocentesis is actually not very risky.Recommendations: It is recommended to undergo amniocentesis at a regular hospital. It is essential to complete all necessary tests to ensure the health of the fetus.
