Choose NIPT for twin pregnancy with Health Smile “Value, Convenient, and Reliable”
Twin pregnancy package , Down syndrome and chromosome testing
Every mother wants her baby to be healthy and strong. No one wants a child with Down syndrome.
Therefore, screening for Down syndrome and chromosomal abnormalities is important. Especially for twin pregnancies where there is a higher risk of pregnancy complications.
Children with Down syndrome have low IQ, speak slowly, have problems with muscle use, and have quite noticeable physical characteristics such as a flat face, flat head, flat nose, small oval eyes, short neck, short body size compared to other people of the same age when they grow up and may have various health problems.
The above abnormalities occur in infants with Down syndrome , a condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, occurring in approximately 1 in 800 to 1 in 1,000 births. Down syndrome occurs in approximately 2 in 1,000 twin pregnancies .
And it will be found more and more in older mothers. In a singleton pregnancy, if the age is over 35, the risk will increase to 1 in 250 .
The most accurate method for screening for Down syndrome in twin pregnancies is the NIPT test.
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologist (ACOG) in 2007 therefore recommended that all pregnant women who present for prenatal care before 20 weeks of pregnancy receive counseling for fetal screening for Down syndrome, regardless of the woman’s age, and should be advised of the differences between screening tests and diagnostic tests, and given the option of prenatal diagnostic testing if the screening results are in the high-risk group.
