Patient's question:
The screening test shows a critical risk for trisomy 21 syndrome. The doctor recommended I undergo a non-invasive DNA test. However, I am only 25 years old, and neither of my families has a history of hereditary diseases. One of my friends also had a ratio of 1:380 for trisomy 21 syndrome, which falls under low risk. Is it absolutely necessary to undergo the non-invasive DNA test?Doctor's answer:
Problem Hello, based on the key risks you described, this general risk is not very large. However, it is recommended that you conduct further checks. Removing the abnormality is relatively safe, and this examination has little impact on the fetus. It may make it difficult to detect fetal abnormalities. It is recommended that you cooperate with the doctor for the examination so that you can also feel at ease. The checks after the mid-term are very crucial. I suggest you still follow the doctor's advice for regular checks.
