What is the reason for genetic counseling recommended for Down syndrome screening markers?

Patient's question:

The Down syndrome screening risk estimation project is all low risk! But in the marker section, it says "recommended for consultation through generational inheritance, what does this mean?

Doctor's answer:

Down syndrome screening is just a possibility, not a diagnosis. Low risk means a lower possibility. It is common for hospitals to recommend consulting with relatives for hereditary inheritance, which is just a way to shift responsibility. Because any test is only a reference. Moreover, patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
