Patient's question:
What problems do you have if the risk of open neural tube defects is low in the open neural tube defect risk of Down syndrome screening? Is the result of open neural tube defect risk in Down syndrome screening serious?Doctor's answer:
Tang screening is the full name of "Tang syndrome screening," which is a detailed examination usually performed between the 16th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. It primarily screens for congenital chromosomal abnormalities. If you are in a low-risk situation, then it's nothing to worry about; there is no need to be overly concerned. In general, low-risk cases do not require further testing, but if you are in a high-risk or borderline-risk situation, further testing is necessary.
