Abstract
Screening for possible aneuploidies, especially trisomy
21 or Down Syndrome, is generally offered to all women early in
their pregnancy. The question is when that screening should be
done to provide the most reliable and useful information. This
article showed that combined serum (pregnancy associated plasma
protein A and free beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin)
and ultrasound testing (looking for nuchal translucency) early in
their first trimester in addition to serum testing (quad screen)
in their second trimester provided the most reliable results.
