PAPPA (Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein A) is one of several screening blood tests primarily used to assess the developing baby's risk for Down's syndrome. The test is commonly done between 8 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. PAPPA is a protein that is generally present at lower than normal levels in babies with Down's syndrome (trisomy 21), intrauterine growth restriction, and who are at increased risk for premature delivery.
