Patient's question:
The results of the were low-risk, but one indicator, hCG-b2.5, was greater than 2.0, which failed the criteria. Additionally, the ultrasound detected a strong light point in the left ventricle, and the doctor recommended an NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing) to see how the results turned out. The NIPT results showed that chromosomes 21, 18, and 13 were normal, but a deletion of 2.2 Mb in the 17th chromosome at the p12-p11.2 region was found, spanning the range of ChR (14080000-16280000). I don’t know how accurate the NIPT is and how much interference this deletion will have on my child.Doctor's answer:
The accuracy rate of non-invasive DNA testing exceeds 99%. The 17th chromosome defect and the strong light spots in the left ventricle are all indicators that fetal growth and development abnormalities should not be ruled out. It is recommended to make your own decision and consider whether to terminate early pregnancy or focus on continuing the pregnancy. Pay attention to your dietary habits and develop good eating habits. Eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more vegetables and fruits. Actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and do not hesitate to seek medical care.
