Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
Dual marker with NT at around 12-13 weeks and Triple marker at 16-18 weeks, are very good techniques to diagnose various genetic disorders.
As you have mentioned, cut off 1:250 and your report of 1:75- I will definitely suggest you to undergo amniocentesis test at appropriate centre.
in this test USG guided procedure is done to take fluid sample around the baby. The baby body cells in the fluid are studied for chromosome numbers and pairing. At expert hands test is safe for baby and results are quite predictable. As these genetic problems are not curable at birth , I will recommend you to get the test done in this week only.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
