Second trimester levels of pregnancy associated plasma protein-A in cases of trisomy 18.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Prenatal screening for Down syndrome has become standard practice in many western countries. In the Netherlands, however, prenatal screening tests for congenital defects are not offered routinely. The present study aims to assess test uptake in a large, unselected population of pregnant women, and to give mo...
