Sažetak
Objective:To study the effect of fetalsex on maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MS-AFP) and free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (free beta-hCG) during second trimester pregnancy. Methods:The study included 1776 non-smoking women with singelton and uncomplicated pregnancies who were participated in maternal serum screening test for Downs syndrome.The results for both biochemical markers were converted to MOMs for normal pregnancy at the relevant gestational age, and were adjusted for maternal weight. The mean maternal and gestational age were 30+-5.2 and 16.1+-1.4, respectively. The log10MoMs of MS-AFP and free beta-hCG were compared according to fetal sex. Conclusion: No fetal sex differences in the MS_AFP and free beta-hCG levels were observed during common term for performing second trimester maternal serum screening test for Down syndrome.
