Abstract
Problems of prenatal complex diagnosis of Down's syndrome are considered. The levels of alpha-fetoprotein in blood serum of pregnant women should be studied in the optimum terms (17-19 weeks of pregnancy). The assessment of several immuno-biochemical markers is most important for diagnosis.
