What is Double Marker Test?
The Double Marker Test measures two blood markers (free beta-hCG and PAPP-A) between weeks 11–13 of pregnancy, combined with the NT (nuchal translucency) ultrasound scan, to assess the risk of Down syndrome and other chromosomal conditions. It's a screening test, not diagnostic. Redcliffe Labs sells this same test under the brand name "Combined Screening."
Why is Double Marker Test done?
- Estimates the chance of Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18) in the first trimester using two blood markers — free β-hCG and PAPP-A.
- Combined with the NT (nuchal translucency) ultrasound and the mother's age to produce a single risk score.
- A routine early screen that helps decide whether further testing, such as NIPT or a diagnostic test, is worthwhile.
Who may be advised to take Double Marker Test?
- Pregnant women, ideally between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy.
- Mothers who want a first-trimester risk estimate alongside the NT scan.
- Women who prefer a lower-cost screen, or who are not opting for NIPT.

Good to know
- It gives a risk estimate, not a diagnosis — 'screen positive' does not mean the baby has a condition.
- It is most reliable when done within the correct week window and paired with an NT scan; your doctor will advise on timing.
- A higher-risk result is usually followed by NIPT or a diagnostic test such as CVS or amniocentesis.
