Hello doctor! I am pregnant at 12 weeks, ultrasound results showed that the nuchal translucency is 4.3. I went to the hospital specializing in obstetrics and gynecology for amniocentesis test at week 17. I received 1 result that the pairs of chromosomes 13,18,21 and the sex chromosome pair were normal, nothing abnormal. I am still waiting for the results after 21 days. So with the results of the pairs of chromosomes 13,18,21 and the pair of normal sex chromosomes in the fetus, is it okay? I am very worried so I need your advice. Thank you doctor.

Hello. The doctor would like to answer the question: "Are the results of pairs of chromosomes 13,18,21 and normal sex chromosome pairs okay in the fetus? ” is as follows:
In cases where the light at the back of the neck is thick, the baby will have the risk of chromosomal abnormalities (number and structure), the risk of morphological abnormalities, the risk of stillbirth. You wait for the results of amniocentesis and continue to follow up on ultrasound at other important milestones. If both amniocentesis and ultrasound at subsequent milestones are normal then most babies will be fine
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
