Question
What should I do if my Down syndrome screening result shows a high NTD value?
Answer
During the Down syndrome screening, your NTD value exceeded the normal range (>2.5 MOM), indicating an increased risk of neural tube defects for your fetus. In this case, it is recommended that you undergo genetic counseling and further prenatal diagnosis, such as amniocentesis, to obtain more accurate information. The genetic counselor will be able to help you understand and assess the risk, and provide specific advice tailored to your situation.
