Question
Is the risk high for the prenatal screening report of Down Syndrome?
Answer
According to the report, the risk of Down Syndrome remains high. The risk rate for Down Syndrome is 1 in 231, still falling within the high-risk category. This blood test is only used to detect certain serum markers in the mother’s blood during pregnancy and does not exclude a definitive diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Therefore, it is recommended that you undergo further examinations such as amniocentesis for a safer method to more accurately assess the fetus’s risk situation. Please consult with your doctor to understand the specific methods of further examination and risk assessment.
