What causes a high risk of Down’s syndrome screening

The high risk of Down’s syndrome screening does not mean that the fetus is definitely a child with Down’s syndrome. Depending on the age of the pregnant woman and the risk value of Down’s syndrome screening, further non-invasive DNA screening or amniocentesis should be performed according to the doctor’s recommendation to confirm the diagnosis.
