Triple Marker Test in Pregnancy is a blood test done on mothers that checks for abnormal chromosomes in fetus(developing baby). The test should be done between weeks 15-20 or during the 4th - 5th month of pregnancy. It detects Trisomy 18 and Down's Syndrome and neural tube defects.
The test is also called the 2nd trimester screen, perinatal screening test or Down's Syndrome Screen.
A Triple Marker Test is a blood test done on pregnant women to estimate the risk of their fetus(child) developing chromosomal abnormalities. These include Down's Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome and Neural Tube Defects. The test is not a confirmatory test, but only a risk estimate.
Background: The normal human has 23 pairs of chromosomes. In susceptible mothers, there is a risk of the fetus having 3 chromosomes at certain positions, instead of the usual 2. These include position 18(Edwards Syndrome), position 21(Down's syndrome). Some pregnancies are also complicated when the child develops abnormalities of the spinal chord called neural tube defects. These are often due to vitamin deficiencies.
Why these syndromes must be detected early?: Syndromes like Down's syndrome are not compatible with a healthy life. Early detection is important for intervention if the syndrome can be confirmed.
