What are the risks of Down syndrome

Patient's question:

The risk cutoff value for Down syndrome is 1:270, and the screening risk value is 1:206. Isn't this result quite bad? The doctor recommended an amniocentesis, and I'd like to consult about the specific details.

Doctor's answer:

In your current test results, the risk of Down syndrome is slightly high, and it is necessary to consider an amniocentesis to further determine whether the fetus is a Down syndrome child, which is essential for identifying congenital idiocy.
Guidelines:
1. Amniocentesis is a very safe examination method with a safety and success rate of 99%.
2. If it turns out to be a Down syndrome child, which is a congenital idiot, future life will not be self-sufficient, and it will bring a great burden to the family. Therefore, it is better to check it clearly.
