[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Down's, Maternit21 is 100% specific and sensitive.[/quote] It's such a new test that if it says, "yes, Down Syndrome," I would probably have the CVS or amnio also. But, if it said "no Down Syndrome," I would believe it and wait for the anatomy scan at 18-20 weeks to see if anything else concerning popped up.[/quote] Agreed I would get Cvs confirmation before even considering...[/quote] [b]Lab error and mixed up blood vials is not unheard. From somebody that spent time in a lab[/b][/quote] This is true: I had second trimester quad-screen labs recently, and got a result of 1:175 (elevated) for DS. Turns out the dates on my labs were wrong and the revised result was 1:2550. I would definitely wait until you have follow-up results and then proceed with CVS or amnio before making any decisions.
