The effect of the choice of maternal age-specific prevalence curve on the model predicted Down syndrome detection rate was examined. All 19 published regression curves from 11 birth prevalence series in four meta-analyses were included. The detection rate for a five per cent false-positive rate was

High free beta human chorionic gonadotropin ( -hCG) and low alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were found in 47 Asian Down's syndrome pregnancies (median values 2•79 and 0•77 MOM, respectively). At a 5 per cent false-positive rate, free -hCG alone would identify 46•8 per cent of Down's syndrome pregnanc
