Write answer in between .Q:A 29-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, at 17 weeks gestation comes to the physician for a routine prenatal examination. A prenatal ultrasound at 10 weeks gestation showed no abnormalities. Serum studies at 16 weeks gestation showed an abnormally elevated α-fetoprotein level and normal beta human chorionic gonadotropin and estriol levels. After genetic counseling, the patient decides to continue with the pregnancy without any diagnostic testing. The remainder of her pregnancy is uncomplicated and she delivers a boy at 38 weeks gestation. Analysis of the infants leukocytes shows a 46, XY karyotype. Which of the following is the most likely cause for the abnormal second-trimester test results?? A: Robertsonian translocation, B: Underestimation of gestational age, C: Spina bifida occulta, D: Maternal hypothyroidism, E: Gestational trophoblastic disease,  <response>: This is a question about abnormal second trimester serum screening results. The key findings are an elevated AFP level with normal hCG and estriol levels at 16 weeks gestation. AFP is produced by the fetus and elevated levels can indicate neural tube defects like spina bifida. However, normal hCG and estriol make that less likely. Elevated AFP with normal hCG and estriol can also be seen with underestimation of gestational age. The infant was born at term with a normal 46,XY karyotype. This rules out chromosomal abnormalities like Robertsonian translocation as the cause. Gestational trophoblastic disease would lead to abnormal hCG levels. Maternal hypothyroidism would not lead to isolated elevated AFP.B: Underestimation of gestational age
