Brief Answer:
Yes, low risk
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Yes, NT of 1.2 mm means that you are at a low risk of having a baby with Down syndrome.
However, NT scan is only a screening test, not 100 percent reliable.
Some other tests like Double marker and I quadruple marker and anomaly scan will provide more information.
Please talk to your doctor about them.
