HI XXXXXXX
An NT scan done beween 11-13 weeks is to look at chromosomal anomalies like Downs syndrome(Mongolian Babies with mental retardation).
It has no connection with hemoglobin.
Its better to do this scan to identify the aforesaid problem
The doctor will also ask for a double /triple marker , pl get that done also.
THANKS
