Abstract

Combined NT and first trimester biochemistry for aneuploidy has become a standard practice. This study was conducted in a busy private clinic. The results of this study showed that this study can be successfully performed in a busy private clinic. The results of the combined screening match those of the conventional screening tests. Proper counseling help the women to take a decision towards invasive testing in screen positive cases.
