Down's screening

Down's disease screening is a test that tests the blood of a pregnant woman to determine the risk of a fetus having Down's disease. If the results of the Tang screening test indicate that the fetus has a higher risk of Down syndrome, a more diagnostic test should be performed-amniocentesis or chorionic villus examination. People to be checked: pregnant women (within 16 ~ 18 weeks of pregnancy)
