Patient's question:
Because my partner is a high-risk pregnancy, the doctor recommended a Down syndrome screening. I just finished this detailed test and would like to consult about what the normal range for Down syndrome screening is.Doctor's answer:
The Down syndrome screening is mainly carried out through amniocentesis to perform a detailed chromosomal examination on the fetal shed cells. The accuracy rate is very high. During the examination, the doctor will read four test results together with the pregnant woman's body, including age, gestational week, etc. The doctor will then calculate the risk of the fetus suffering from Down syndrome. If the test result probability is higher than normal, it indicates a higher risk of the disease.
