A maternal screening test can indicate whether your baby will have Downs Syndrome or neural tube defects. Some of the controversy surrounding maternal screening tests is false results. These are tests that indicate a defect is present in the fetus when in there really isn’t.

Only one out of 50 women with abnormally high AFG levels will have an affected fetus. Other reasons for abnormal results include carrying twins, if the fetus is either a few weeks older or younger than originally thought, or the tests were performed wrong.
