In a study of 50 cases of trisomy 18 compared with 947 controls we have found the median multiple of the median (MoM) of maternal serum free human chorionic gonadotrophin to be significantly decreased (0.281 MoM) in samples collected between the 10th and 14th week of gestation. Similarly, maternal s

In 42 cases of trisomy 13 at 10±14 weeks of gestation, compared with 947 controls, the median multiple of the median (MoM) of maternal serum free b-human chorionic gonadotrophin (b-hCG) and pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) was signi®cantly decreased (0.506 MoM and 0.248 MoM respectivel

In a population of 1467 women attending the 'G. Gaslini' Institute for antenatal care, we evaluated first-trimester risk screening for Down syndrome using the 'combined test' based on ultrasound measurement of nuchal translucency (NT), maternal serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) an
