Question
At 13.4 weeks of pregnancy, the median free beta-HCG multiple H is 3.564, the risk of trisomy 21 is 1:310, and the risk of trisomy 18 is 1:100000, which is considered low risk. I have previously undergone fetal protection therapy and would like to inquire if this result is dangerous and whether further testing is required.
Answer
Down syndrome is a condition caused by a chromosomal abnormality that results in developmental delays and intellectual disabilities. Treatment includes a combination of vitamins, hormones, minerals, and cell therapy to improve some symptoms but cannot change appearance. Early detection and treatment are more effective. Children with Down syndrome are usually diagnosed at birth, and early intervention is best for them; although there are still many areas to learn, educational and healthcare systems need to provide more knowledge and love for these special children.
