What is a Double marker test in pregnancy ?

During pregnancy, a dual marker test (also known as a double marker test or a maternal marker test) is performed to discover any genetic abnormalities in the foetus. It is usually recommended for women over 35 since they have a higher risk of giving birth to a kid with genetic disorders. Younger women, on the other hand, can take this test too. This blood test is done in the first trimester of pregnancy, usually between the 9th and 14th weeks.

The test is used to detect Down syndrome and trisomy 18 syndrome, which cause mental impairment and other medical issues that affect the foetus' essential organs.

The Double Marker Test is a prenatal screening test designed to measure the amounts of two key components in a pregnant woman's blood.

  • Human chorionic gonadotropin( hCG) 
  • Pregnancy associated plasma protein -A (PAPP-A)
