Down Syndrome

Down syndrome (DS), is usually based on a two-stage model: screening tests directed at the entire population of pregnant women and invasive diagnostic tests for the high risk population as determined by the aforesaid screening tests. Screening tests include different combinations of maternal serum biochemical markers and various ultrasound markers. Currently, the most prevalent screening test is the combined first trimester screening test, which includes ultrasound measurement of nuchal translucency in combination with maternal serum levels of PAPP-A and free beta-hCG. This approach is gradually replacing second trimester biochemical screening which is based on maternal serum levels of AFP, hCG, uE3 (with or without inhibin A). Additional approaches include various combinations of first- and second-trimester screening markers, such as the integrated test and contingent screening.
