Integrated and Sequential screening are tests that determine whether there is increased risk of having a baby with Down syndrome, trisomy 18, or an open neural tube defect, such as spina bifida. These tests require an ultrasound with special measurements of the nuchal translucency (NT), a blood test performed in the first trimester, and another blood sample obtained in the second trimester (Afp4).
