To evaluate second-trimester free beta-hCG and total estriol (E3) in the maternal urine as markers for Down syndrome screening in an Asian population.
Free beta-hCG and total E3 were measured in the urine samples of 28 Taiwanese Down syndrome pregnancies and 268 unaffected singleton pregnancies at 14-25 weeks. Results were normalized to urine creatinine concentrations and converted to multiples of the median (MoM) levels. Gestational ages were estimated by ultrasound measurements.
Median values of free beta-hCG, total E3, free beta-hCG to total E3 ratio, and the free beta-hCG to total E3 MoM ratio in Down syndrome pregnancies were 4.75 MoM, 0.66 MoM, 8.99 MoM, and 9.51, respectively. At a 5% false-positive rate, the observed detection rates were 36% (ten of 28) with total E3, 71% (20 of 28) with free beta-hCG, 68% (19 of 28) with free beta-hCG/total E3, and 71% (20 of 28) with free beta-hCG/total E3 MoM. When combined with maternal age, the expected detection rates were 65% with total E3, 71% with free beta-hCG, 76% with free beta-hCG/total E3, 80% with free beta-hCG/total E3 MoM, and 89% when combining free beta-hCG, total E3, and maternal age.
Urine free beta-hCG and total E3 are useful markers for Down syndrome screening during the second trimester in Taiwanese women.
评估孕中期孕妇尿中游离β-人绒毛膜促性腺激素(β-hCG)和总雌三醇(E3)作为亚洲人群唐氏综合征筛查标志物的价值。
测定28例台湾地区唐氏综合征妊娠孕妇和268例孕14 - 25周单胎正常妊娠孕妇的尿样中游离β-hCG和总E3。结果以尿肌酐浓度进行标准化,并转换为中位数倍数(MoM)水平。通过超声测量估算孕周。
唐氏综合征妊娠孕妇中游离β-hCG、总E3、游离β-hCG与总E3比值以及游离β-hCG与总E3 MoM比值的中位数分别为4.75 MoM、0.66 MoM、8.99 MoM和9.51。在5%的假阳性率下,总E3的观察检出率为36%(28例中的10例),游离β-hCG为71%(28例中的20例),游离β-hCG/总E3为68%(28例中的19例),游离β-hCG/总E3 MoM为71%(28例中的20例)。当与孕妇年龄相结合时,总E3的预期检出率为65%,游离β-hCG为71%,游离β-hCG/总E3为76%,游离β-hCG/总E3 MoM为80%,游离β-hCG、总E3和孕妇年龄联合时为89%。
尿游离β-hCG和总E3是台湾地区女性孕中期唐氏综合征筛查的有用标志物。
