Chapter 1 Down Syndrome: Historical and Ethical Perspectives -- Chapter 2 Down Syndrome: Genetics and Clinical Features -- Chapter 3 Ultrasound markers of aneuploidy at 11-14 weeks -- Chapter 4 Maternal Serum Markers used for Screening -- Chapter 5 Single-step maternal serum screening and pre-test counseling -- Chapter 6 Non-invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS) -- Chapter 7 Limitations of NIPS -- Chapter 8 Interpreting normal and abnormal screening reports and post-test counseling -- Chapter 9 Second Trimester Soft Markers for Aneuploidy -- Chapter 10 Invasive Testing for aneuploidy -- Chapter 11 Aneuploidy screening in Twins -- Chapter 12 Putting It All Together: A Stepwise Approach -- Chapter 13 Integrated, Contingent, and Sequential Screening -- Chapter 14 Special situations in screening -- Chapter 15 Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18 and Other Aneuploidies -- Chapter 16 Screening for Pre-eclampsia -- Chapter 17 Screening for Open Neural Tube Defects.

The book elucidates a practical method for prenatal screening and detecting Down syndrome in a simple and easy-to-understand language. It provides thorough knowledge on the subject, and each chapter covers a specific topic, making this book an essential quick-reference guide for every antenatal clinic. The book contains chapters on maternal serum screening, noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), invasive testing with amniocentesis and CVS, and screening in twins. It also includes advanced chapters on multi-step screening protocols, uncommon aneuploidies, screening for preeclampsia, and open neural tube defects for clinicians interested in fetal medicine. Down syndrome is the most typical genetic condition affecting over 5 million individuals globally. Rapid advances in the medical field make it possible to identify most of these babies before birth. Hence, aneuploidy screening is now offered to pregnant women worldwide. The book aims to help obstetricians and gynecologists diagnose Down syndrome and other aneuploidies in pregnancy, avoid unnecessary testing, and remain safely within medico-legal boundaries. It is also helpful for fetal medicine students. The book helps the readers address challenging clinical scenarios and confusing test results.
