Question

Is my Down Syndrome screening result normal? My result shows an 18-trisomy risk of 1111111, and a Down syndrome syndrome risk of 1287, with a reference value of 1270. Is my result normal?

Answer

Hello, the Down syndrome screening primarily assesses the risk of the fetus having Down syndrome. If the risk is high, it’s best to follow the guidance for amniocentesis exclusion: The risk of Down syndrome is now approaching high risk. We suggest conducting a new test to see if the risk is high, and it’s best to have an amniocentesis done to rule out. It’s recommended that you should consult your doctor for a detailed examination to see if your doctor also suggests other tests.
