Question
The Down syndrome screening result shows a high risk of Trisomy 21 syndrome. What is the likelihood of fetal retention in this situation? Can the pregnancy continue?
Answer
The Down syndrome screening indicates an increased risk of Trisomy 21 syndrome. Although your risk rate is slightly lower than the reference value of 1 in 250, it is still at a critical level, meaning the fetus may face a higher risk of Trisomy 21 syndrome. In this case, it is recommended to undergo amniocentesis to further confirm the fetus’s development. Amniocentesis can provide a more precise diagnosis, helping you make a more informed decision.
