The provisional normal MSAFP screen.
Patients with a provisional normal MSAFP screen appear to be at significant risk of giving birth to a child with a chromosomal abnormality. Failure to recognize this risk or act upon it may deprive patients of all of their reproductive options. Based upon our experience over an 18 month period, a protocol to evaluate the provisional normal MSAFP is reported.
