    In humans, there are 23 types of chromosomes and most people have a pair of each one of these chromosomes (therefore a total of 46 chromosomes). In trisomy, there are three rather than two of a particular chromosome (total of 47 chromosomes).
    \nThe most common trisomies are those of chromosomes 21, 18 and 13. Trisomy 21 is found in about 1 in 700 births and the risk increases with maternal age. The condition is associated with intellectual disabilities and some physical defects and most commonly heart abnormalities. The life expectancy is about 60 years. Trisomies 18 and 13 are found in about 1 in 7,000 births and the risk increases with maternal age. The conditions are associated with severe mental handicap and several physical defects. Most affected individuals die before or soon after birth and they rarely survive beyond the first year of life.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Today we assess the risks of Down’s syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities<\/a>. Each woman will be given an estimate of her individual risk for this pregnancy. This is calculated by taking into account the age of the mother, measurement of two hormones in the mother\u2019s blood and the scan findings of nuchal translucency<\/a> thickness, nasal bone<\/a> , and blood flow through the tricuspid valve of the fetal heart<\/a> and ductus venosus and fetal abnormalities. In the Greek version you can find a video by You tube of the nuchal scan. Parents will receive full counseling concerning the significance of these risks and the various options for further investigations including invasive testing or the cfDNA test.<\/div>\n
