Trisomy 18 risk based on maternal age + Pregnancy associated plasma protein A + Choriogonadotropin + Nuchal translucency
Active
Description
The fetus's risk of having trisomy 18 can be estimated based on maternal age, fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness, and maternal serum or plasma levels for free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A). PMID: 18726925 Reliable risk calculations for trisomy 18 and other trisomies (13, 21) in first-trimester screening depends on good estimates of the medians for fetal NT thickness, free beta-hCG, and PAPP-A from unaffected pregnancies. PMID: 21576269 Trisomy 18, also called Edwards syndrome, is caused by the presence of three copies of chromosome 18 in each cell rather than two. Edwards syndrome is associated with intrauterine growth retardation and fetal demise, and liveborn infants with Edwards syndrome typically have low birth weight, congenital heart disease, and characteristic physical features. Less than 10% of liveborn infants with Edwards syndrome live past their first year. The general population risk of Edwards syndrome is 1 out of 5,000 live births, and the risk for Edwards syndrome increases with increasing maternal age.
