Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Age risk on double marker test means that the risk of having a Down syndrome baby at your age with the results of serum markers is 1:248. The risk is not very high, and amniocentesis might have been done due to any abnormalities in the ultrasound.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
