Requires a previously submitted first-trimester specimen, Prenatal Integrated Screen, 1st Trimester (Sendout) [RINTP1]. Risks are determined after second-trimester specimen is received, using a combination of first- and second-trimester serum markers with or without first-trimester nuchal translucency measurement.

Patient Preparation: Specimen must be drawn between 14 weeks, 0 days and 24 weeks, 6 days gestation. The recommended time for maternal serum screening is 16 to 18 weeks gestation.
