## Abstract Maternal serum pregnancy specific beta‐1 glycoprotein (SP‐1) levels in the second trimester may be predictive of Down syndrome (DS). An enzyme immunoassay was used to measure SP‐1 sera from 46 DS pregnancies and 117 normal control women matched for maternal age, gestational age, and len

✦ Synopsis
The potential of the maternal serum concentration of schwangerschaftsprotein 1 (MSSP1) as a marker for Down syndrome (DS) pregnancies was evaluated in the fifth to the 20th gestational week using 156 DS pregnancies and 546 unaffected control pregnancies. In DS pregnancies, the median of the multiple of the median (MOM) of MSSP1 was 0•27 [95 per cent confidence interval (CI) 0•11-0•59] in weeks 5-9 (n=25) and 1•28 (CI 1•11-1•49) in weeks 14-20 (n=117), significantly different from controls (P<10 6 ). In weeks 10-12, the median MSSP1 MOM was 0•89 (CI 0•20-2•09) (n=14), not different from controls (P=0•42). Using MSSP1 alone as a marker for DS gave-in empirical receiver-operator-characteristics (ROC) analysis-a detection rate of about 44 per cent for a false-positive rate of about 5 per cent in weeks 5-9 (using MSSP1 MOMccut-off), whereas a sensitivity of about 20 per cent was found for a false-positive rate of 5 per cent in weeks 14-20 (using MSSP1 MOMdcut-off). In parameterized ROC analysis, the detection rates were 38 and 18 per cent for a false-positive rate of 5 per cent in weeks 5-9 and 14-20, respectively. 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

To assess the value of inhibin A as an additional second-trimester maternal serum marker of Down's syndrome we studied 56 affected and 280 unaffected pregnancies matched for gestational age. The median level in the cases was 1.62 multiples of the gestation-specific median (MOM) in the controls, with
It has been suggested that high levels of maternal serum prostate-specific (PSA) may be associated with fetal Down syndrome. We retrieved stored blood samples from 102 singleton Down syndrome pregnancies at 8-14 weeks' gestation and 99 at 15-22 weeks' gestation, together with samples from five unaff
