Question
What does high-risk trisomy 21 screening mean and can pregnancy be terminated?
Answer
High-risk trisomy 21 screening indicates a higher likelihood of the fetus having Trisomy 21, a chromosomal disorder that often leads to intellectual disability. As there is no effective treatment available, it is recommended to conduct fetal chromosomal analysis for confirmation. If confirmed to have Trisomy 21, termination of pregnancy is advised. If not, the pregnancy can continue.
