Looking for some advice on interpreting combined test results.
I'm 39 and got through a low risk result for DS (1:449) today. But in looking into what the various things listed actually mean, I'm a bit concerned as my HCG is high (MOM = 2.04) and my PAPPA is a bit low (MOM = 0.8). NT was 1.8mm (MOM = 1.06). Obviously don't know how the algorithm works and was wondering if anyone else did. The report has just enough info to get me curious but not enough to explain why I shouldn't be concerned.
The other question I have is about screening for other anomalies which can be estimated with these tests. I'm in Scotland - do we not test for / report these?
Thanks in advance to anyone with more info.

Low PAPPA, high HCG at 39 but still low risk?
