Does the fact of having long femurs (fetus) exclude down syndrom ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While: it is true that short femurs are typical of Down syndrome, and long femurs would make it less likely, given some of the limitations of US, femur length alone is probably not sufficient to rule it out.
