Double Marker Test (Dual Marker Test)

The Double Marker Test, also known as Dual Marker Test, is a prenatal screening test conducted during the first trimester of pregnancy to detect any chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders in the developing fetus. This test measures two specific proteins in the mother's blood, Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A).

Abnormal levels of these proteins in the mother's blood can indicate the presence of Down syndrome, Edward's syndrome, or other chromosomal abnormalities. This test is usually conducted between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy and involves taking a blood sample from the mother.

The Double Marker Test is a non-invasive and safe way to screen for potential fetal abnormalities. It is recommended for all pregnant women, especially those over the age of 35 or with a family history of genetic disorders. However, it is important to note that this test is only a screening test and not a diagnostic test. A positive result requires further diagnostic testing to confirm any abnormalities.
