What tests are there for Down syndrome?

There are two types. Screening tests estimate the likelihood that the baby has the condition, with no risk to the pregnancy. Diagnostic tests confirm or rule it out with certainty, but they are invasive.

What are the screening tests?

First-trimester screening, between weeks 11 and 14, combines an ultrasound with a maternal blood test. Cell-free fetal DNA testing, possible from week 10 with a maternal blood sample, is the most accurate screening test.

What are the diagnostic tests?

Chorionic villus sampling, between weeks 11 and 14, and amniocentesis, from week 15. They carry a small risk of pregnancy loss, so they are mainly offered when screening shows high risk.

Who should get tested?

Screening is offered to all pregnant women regardless of age. It is a personal decision; an obstetrician or geneticist can explain the options and support you with the results.
