correctly normalize urine data. The tighter distribution of hyperglycosylated hCG measurements in serum may compensate for the lesser elevation of values in Down syndrome cases. Hyperglycosylated hCG determinations might be equally useful in urine and serum samples. 60 per cent sensitivity is sugges
We report the findings in a child with the Denys-Drash syndrome presenting prenatally with a diaphragmatic hernia, male pseudohermaphroditism, and elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels in amniotic fluid and in maternal serum.
Increased levels of second trimester maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) have long been established as a marker for neural tube defects (NTDs). In addition, decreased levels of maternal estriol in the third trimester have been reported in pregnancies with anencephalic fetuses. The purpose of th
