Patient's question:
What is the critical risk for Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, with a risk value of 1 in 380? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the Down syndrome screening is only an assessment method, not a diagnostic method. Therefore, it only involves the concepts of high risk or low risk, without a definitive statement of whether there is a malformation or not. So, a risk of 1:380 is considered relatively high, with a 1 in 380 chance of having a Down syndrome child.Recommendation: It is still advisable to undergo amniocentesis to determine the fetus's chromosomal status.
