Using two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays specific for inhibin A and pro-C inhibin, levels of the two proteins were assessed in maternal serum from 43 Down syndrome and 300 chromosomally normal pregnancies at 15-17 weeks' gestation. Compared to the control pregnancies, both inhibin A and pro-C in

Initial studies of immunoreactive inhibin using a commercial assay have shown levels to be increased in three second-trimester series of maternal samples from Down's syndrome-affected pregnancies. This assay detected non-specifically all forms of circulating inhibin, dimeric and free alpha subunits,

In second-trimester Down syndrome pregnancies, levels of inhibin-A (the alpha-betaA dimer) in maternal serum and amniotic fluid (AF) are significantly higher and lower than in normal pregnancy, respectively. Since AF also contains inhibin-B (the alpha-betaB dimer) and precursor inhibins, we have exa

The value of measuring inhibin-A (asA dimer) with human chorionic gonadotrophin (total or the sub-units free a-hCG and free P-hCG separately), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and unconjugated oestriol (uE,) was examined to determine the effect on the performance of serum screening for Down's syndrome betwe

Case-control studies in the Caucasian population showed that maternal serum inhibin-A is elevated in Down syndrome pregnancies and may be a useful second-trimester marker in addition to human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Data in the Asian population are lacking. We meas
