How to Interpret Down Syndrome Screening Results

Patient's question:

Age; 24 weeks 15 weeks 05 days Weight; 52KG Results; AFP value 1.2 MOM (0.5-2.5 MOM) \ HCG 2.99

Doctor's answer:

The Down syndrome screening mainly checks: free β-HCG, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), AFP-Age, 21-trisomy risk, 18-trisomy risk, neural tube defect risk, etc.; these items are used to comprehensively analyze the risk level. Generally, even if confirmed as high-risk by Down syndrome screening, the actual probability of having a child with the condition is only about 1 in a thousand.
