The amniocentesis is test which would confirm the presence of abnormal chromosomal patterns in the fetus . If she doesn't wish to opt for an invasive procedure which carries associated risks , she can go for a maternal blood test which detects fetal DNA .

Hi, This risk is high. The very purpose of doing Double marker is to find out if the risk is high and send these patients for confirmation by Amniocentesis and Karyotyping- chromosome testing. Every patient is counselled on these lines before the test. Logical would be to discuss further with your Gynecologist and take an informed decision
