I would call George Knight or James Haddow at the Foundation for Blood Research in Scarborough, Maine (developers of AFP for ONTDs) and ask them what they would counsel. Their phone number is: (207) 883-4131 Good Luck. annette lee wrote: > > How would you manage a patient with a normal triple > screen who underwent genetic amnio at 16 weeks (well > dated by LMP and first trimester sono) and was found > to have nl 46XY karyotype but AMNIOTIC fluid AFP > 2.1 MOM.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
