We conducted a study to investigate ethnic group differences in levels of serum markers used in screening for Down's syndrome [serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), unconjugated oestriol (uE,), total human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), free a-and free P-hCG, and dimeric inhibin-A], to estimate the extent
Maternal serum screening for Down syndrome involves biochemical tests such as alpha-fetoprotein ( FP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and unconjugated oestriol (uE 3 ), either alone or in combination, that have variable detection and false-positive rates. Choosing a screening protocol requires
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
