AFP and 40% miss on Downs From: AC (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat, 5 Dec 1998 13:56:27 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Naomi: "Re: natural hormone replacement therapy" Previous message: Harriet: "Re: Post-hysterectomy visit?" Next in thread: William D. McIntosh, MD: "Re: AFP and 40% miss on Downs" Reply: William D. McIntosh, MD: "Re: AFP and 40% miss on Downs" I was told by a genetic counselor that the AFP will miss 40% of actual Downs cases. My AFP result (taken at 18 weeks) is 1 in 10,000. Does this number take into account the 40% miss rate? I would like to know if I can use 1 in 10,000 as my risk factor or do I need to make adjustments to it. Thanks.
