Summary
This study tested a new blood test that looks at fetal DNA in the mother's blood to detect Down syndrome (trisomy 21) as early as 11 weeks into pregnancy. The goal was to see if this noninvasive test could accurately tell which babies have Down syndrome, potentially replacing riskier procedures like amniocentesis. The study involved 976 pregnant women at high risk for Down syndrome.
