My wife 3 months pregnant. Double marker test revealed that t21 is 50: 1. Is it dangerous? Doctor advised to go through a amniocentesis with FISH study? Is the test safe? Is there any other way of diagnosis for down syndrome?

Hi lybrate-user the risk of down's syndrome in your case is significant. The next step to confirm whether your child has down's syndrome or not is aminocentesis. Although this test has some risks like miscarriage but in safe hands the risk is quite low. Around 1%. Thanks.
