Maternal Serum Quad Screen - Correct Answer-Measurement of biochemical analytes in maternal serum to provide adjusted risk for certain conditions. Performed during second trimester typically 14-21 weeks
SLO vs XL ichthyosis,
SLO has pre and postnatal growth restrictions - Correct Answer-Differentials for extremely low uE3 on QUAD screen and how can you differentiate
Non-disjunction in Meiosis I - Correct Answer-What is the most common cause of aneuploidy
Quad screen conditions - Correct Answer--Open Neural tube defects
- Down Syndrome
- Trisomy 18
Quad screen analytes - Correct Answer--AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) -hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin): -uE3 (unconjugated estriol): - Inhibin Factors to take into account for Quad Screen - Correct Answer-Gestational Age: As this changes so does expected values of each analyte
Weight: as maternal weight increases so does blood volume. Dilutes analytes
Race: Different ethnic backgrounds can affected expected levels
- i.e. African American ancestry tend to have higher AFP levels
-Diabetic status: insulin dependent diabetics tend to have lower AFP
Effects of inaccurate dating for Quad Screen - Correct Answer--Overestimate (believe pregnancy is further along) can lead to false positive for Down syndrome. (Overestimate
brings you down)
- Underestimate (reported to be earlier than it is) leads to false positive for NTD. London
(The under is the tubes)

hCG Decreases as GA increases
Inhibin Remains Stable
uE3 Increases with GA
AFP increases with GA
Positive Quad screen pattern Increased risk for Down Syndrome - Correct Answer-HI (Increased) LO (Decreased)
H: hCG
I: Inhibin
L: estriol
O: AFP Quad screen positive T18 increased risk - Correct Answer-AFP: Low
hCG: Low
uE3: Low
DIA: N/A
Pattern of Quad screen with abnormal placental functioning - Correct Answer-AFP: HI
hCG: High
uE3: Low
Inhibin: High
First Trimester Screening - Correct Answer-Maternal serum analytes and ultrasound are
used to adjust a woman's a priori risk for aneuploidy. Performed in 1st trimester usually between 11-13 weeks
First Trimester Screening Analytes - Correct Answer-Free Beta-hCG
PAPP-A
AFP
Analytes are measures and then adjusted for gestational age, maternal weight and race
Measured in MoM- multiples of median
First Trimester Screen Ultrasound Components - Correct Answer-Crown to Rump length measurement
Nuchal translucency
Nasal Bone
Advantages of First Tri Screening over Quad - Correct Answer-Increased sensitivity for T21 and T18
Includes T13
Risk assessment earlier
Eliminates incorrect dating issue
Nuchal translucency - Correct Answer-a collection of fluid that extends behind the fetal neck and along the spine in the first trimester
Increased NT - Correct Answer-Greater than 95th percentile in size
Increased NT associated with what genetic conditions? - Correct Answer-- Down syndrome
- Trisomy 18
- Trisomy 13
