What does it mean if there are soft markers for down syndrome on ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fetal ultrasounds in: the 1st & 2nd trimesters can show anatomical signs frequently seen in fetuses with Down Syndrome or other genetic accidents that result in 3 copies of a specific chromosome.Knowing your risk of DS, calculated by FUS findings, gestational & maternal age, 1st & 2nd trimester maternal blood screens, & a higher-resolution FUS, helps you decide if you want chromosomal testing for a definitive answer.
