Nuchal Fold Testing for Down Syndrome Feb 23rd 2012, 13:00 Nuchal fold testing is something that is a more recent prenatal test.  The nice part about it is that it is not as invasive as other tests that can be used to screen for Down Syndrome, like the AFP, triple, quad or penta screens.  The nuchal fold testing can also be done a bit earlier in pregnancy using ultrasound to measure the back of your baby's neck.
