well in the us there's this dilemma - the legal limit for top is 24 wks
except in certain areas for certain reasons. unfortunately, Campbell et
al published results which showed quite clearly that the optimal time
for anomaly screens was at about 22 wks, putting more than a little
pressure on prenatal diagnosis labs. of course in the UK there's not
this limit so it all makes a bit more sense. now if only Bianchi's
group could come up with a practical test for finding the major
trisomies in the fetal cells in maternal circulation - that imho would
make a great impact.
just my opinion - i could be wrong.
