Patient's question:
My wife had the Down syndrome screening at 15 weeks, and the Maternal and Child Health Hospital diagnosed her as high-risk for Down syndrome. The doctor recommended an amniocentesis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally this risk test only indicates a high risk, not necessarily confirming that you have Down syndrome. Your 1:55 is high risk, but it cannot be used alone to confirm whether you have Down syndrome. You still need to have an amniocentesis.
