Question
What tests should be conducted on a baby born after a failed Down syndrome screening?
Answer
Given that the Down syndrome screening result is high-risk, it is recommended to undergo a chromosome test for further confirmation, especially karyotype analysis. Even though the newborn screening has passed, a definitive diagnosis of Down syndrome requires more specific and detailed examinations. Additionally, one should pay attention to the baby’s growth and development, and consult a doctor promptly if any abnormalities are observed.
