Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a chance for a child to have Down syndrome with a T21 risk of 1 in 188. This ratio means that out of 188 pregnancies, one is expected to result in a baby with Trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome.

While this risk is relatively higher compared to lower ratios (such as 1 in 1,000 or 1 in 10,000), it does not guarantee that a child will have Down syndrome. It indicates a probability, and further diagnostic tests, such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, can provide more definitive information.

Consulting with a healthcare provider or a genetic counselor can help understand these risks better and discuss the options for further testing and support.
