Pregnancy is a beautiful journey for every woman, but it comes with a lot of responsibilities. One of the major responsibilities is to ensure the health of the fetus. The Double Marker test is an essential test that helps in the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. It is recommended for pregnant women over 35 years of age or those who have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities.

At DNA Labs India, we provide the Double Marker test at an affordable cost of INR 3000. The test is performed in our state-of-the-art laboratory by experienced professionals. The test is non-invasive and involves a simple blood test. The results are usually available within a week.

Symptoms

Chromosomal abnormalities can cause various symptoms in the fetus such as:

• Low birth weight
• Delayed growth
• Intellectual disability
• Structural abnormalities
• Heart defects
• Increased risk of miscarriage or stillbirth

Diagnosis

The Double Marker test helps in the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. It measures two hormones - free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in the mother's blood. An abnormal level of these hormones indicates a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.

If the Double Marker test results are abnormal, further testing such as Amniocentesis or Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
