"The ultrasound screening test at 12 weeks is now considered a routine part of pregnancy but in a controversial interview with the Sunday program, Dr Hylton Meire says a Nuchal Translucency has a false positive rate of 95 percent."
"Dr Meire claims that the rate of false negatives for the Nuchal Translucency test is also high, with some 40 percent of Down syndrome babies not picked up by the test."
I will now be offering my own service to pregnant women called 'the coin flip'. Non-invasive with 50% accuracy it's on the cutting edge of maternal screening.

I'll definitely be going to you. Shall I make an appointment for say, four years from now? Do you bulk bill? And I totally deserve the punch, I will accept the no-doubt enormous bruise as my due and whinge very little. Honest. Heh. Caveman was very happy to hear that I would wear a dress. (provided I can lose enough weight). Why this is so important to him, I have no idea! Oh well, men are weird.
