Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the value of Down syndrome (DS) second-trimester maternal serum screening in large series of twin pregnancies. METHODS: Prospective study of second-trimester maternal serum markers [alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and free beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG)] in 11,040 twin pregnancies, 27 of which were trisomy 21-affected.
