Prenatal screening for open neural tube defect
This test is a screening assay to identify pregnancies that may have an increased risk for neural tube defect (NTD).
A screen-positive result indicates that the calculated alpha fetoprotein (AFP) multiple of the median (MoM) is 2.50 or greater and may indicate an increased risk for NTDs.
A screen-positive result does not infer a definitive diagnosis of a NTD but indicates that further evaluation should be considered.
