What is Quadruple Marker Test?
The Quadruple Marker Test is a second-trimester prenatal screening test (ideally done between weeks 15–20) that measures four blood markers to assess the risk of Down syndrome, Edward's syndrome and open neural tube defects. It's a screening test, not diagnostic — a higher-risk result is typically followed by further diagnostic tests like amniocentesis.
Why is Quadruple Marker Test done?
- Second-trimester screen for Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and neural tube defects using four markers — AFP, hCG, estriol and inhibin-A.
- Adding inhibin-A improves the detection of Down syndrome compared with the Triple Marker.
- Helps your doctor decide whether a diagnostic test is advisable.
Who may be advised to take Quadruple Marker Test?
- Pregnant women who did not have first-trimester screening.
- Usually done between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy.
- Anyone whose doctor wants a more sensitive second-trimester screen than the Triple Marker.
