Description

The Double marker test is conducted in the first trimester of pregnancy and helps determine if the foetus has a risk of developing some kind of chromosomal abnormality. Generally, this test is prescribed for pregnant women who are older than 35 years of age.

Overview of the Dual Marker Test
  • A double marker test is done during pregnancy to identify any neurological disorders in the baby. It is a predictive test that is a part of the first-trimester screening to find out if there are any abnormalities in the chromosomes that can affect the baby’s growth.

    It is crucial to conduct this test in the first trimester to identify Down syndrome or Edward’s syndrome in the baby. This test is used to check two markers: free beta HCG and PAPPA-A. The dual marker blood test only identifies the risk but does not confirm any abnormalities.

    When the test result of the double marker test is under normal value, it means that there are no irregularities in the foetus’s development. A screen negative is considered normal and indicates that the baby’s risk of having chromosomal abnormalities is low.
