P-226: Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening for Fetal Chromosomal Anomalies in South of Iran
Background: Prenatal diagnosis for Fetal Chromosomal anomalies currently relies on assessment of risk followed by a combination of biochemical and nuchal translucency. Trisomy 21 is the most common trisomy that is associated with intellectual disability. Pregnant women who receive a prenatal diagnosis of trisomy 21 currently have the option of continuing or terminating their pregnancy, but no f...
متن کاملSample Specific Fetal Fraction Threshold for Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing
SNR separates meaningful information (signal) from background information (noise). In statistical applications of SNR, signal is equivalent to a random variable expectation, and noise is equivalent to its variance. Here, cell-free DNA material (containing both maternal and fetal DNA) from pregnant plasma is tested for detection of genomic events in fetal DNA. The fractional fetal DNA in a sampl...
متن کاملImproving the Positive Predictive Value of Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS)
We evaluated performance characteristics of a laboratory-developed, non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) assay for fetal aneuploidies. This assay employs massively parallel shotgun sequencing with full automation. GC sequencing bias correction and statistical smoothing were performed to enhance discrimination of affected and unaffected pregnancies. Maternal plasma samples from pregnancies wit...
متن کامل[Non-invasive fetal trisomy (NIFTY) test in prenatal diagnosis].
NIFTY (Non-invasive Fetal Trisomy Test) is a non-invasive prenatal test which is used for diagnosing fetal trisomy. The test is based on the analysis of cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) present in the plasma and serum of a pregnant woman. NIFTY allows to detect fetal trisomy of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y and also X monosomy. Abnormal NIFTY results still need to be verified using other diagnost...
متن کاملInvasive Prenatal (Fetal) Diagnostic Testing
Single-Gene Disorders Invasive diagnostic prenatal (fetal) testing for molecular analysis for single-gene disorders may be considered medically necessary when a pregnancy has been identified as being at high risk: 1. For autosomal dominant conditions, at least 1 of the parents has a known pathogenic mutation. 2. For autosomal recessive conditions: a. Both parents are suspected to be carriers or...
