MATERNAL SERUM SCREEN 2 DUAL TEST
Maternal serum screen 2 dual test is a prenatal test that is used to screen for birth defects and genetic disorders in the baby. This test measures the levels of two substances in the mother’s blood:
- Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
- Free beta human chorionic gonadotropin (free beta-hCG)
These substances are produced by the baby’s liver and placenta, respectively. Abnormal levels of AFP and free beta-hCG can indicate a higher risk of certain birth defects and genetic disorders.
SYMPTOMS
Maternal serum screen 2 dual test is a screening test, which means it is used to identify women who may be at higher risk of having a baby with a birth defect or genetic disorder. There are no symptoms associated with this test.
DIAGNOSIS

The results of the test are used to calculate the risk of the baby having certain birth defects and genetic disorders.
