Maternal Serum Screening

Delivers Clarity and
Reassurance for Healthy Outcomes

What is Maternal Serum Screening?

Maternal serum screening (MSS) is a set of tests that helps pregnant women identify if their pregnancy has an increased risk of genetic disorders, birth defects, and pregnancy complications. The tests can be taken during the first trimester between 9 – 13 weeks 6 days and during the second trimester between 15 – 21 weeks 6 days.

MSS can help detect indicators of birth defects like neural tube defects, chromosomal anomalies such as Down Syndrome, and pregnancy complications like Pre-Eclampsia.
