When low or high risks are specified in a genetic report, it refers results to screening tests for developmental disorders. The most common being the screening test during a woman’s pregnancy for assessing chances of the foetus being born with Down Syndrome. When your screening test report specifies a low or high risk it indicates reduced or increased chances, respectively, for the foetus to develop a specified developmental disorder that is being screened. However, please bear in mind that screening tests only estimate chance of risk for a disorder and must not be confused for a confirmation of diagnosis of the same.
