Feticide in second- and third-trimester termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies: Results of a national survey.

abstract：:Maternal serum free beta (hCG) levels are elevated (median 2.20 MOM) in the first trimester of pregnancy in 38 Down syndrome cases as compared with appropriate controls. This observation may form the basis for its use as a marker in screening for Down syndrome in the first trimester. Altered levels of the free beta an...
