Objective:To explore the efficacy and clinical application value of non-invasive prenatal testing (non-invasive prenatal testing, NIPT) for screening fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Methods: NIPT was performed on 25,517 pregnant women. The high-risk samples were compared with amniotic fluid and cord blood chromosome karyotype analysis. Some samples were further verified by microarray (CMA), and pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Results: Of all the cases examined, 25502 cases were detected successfully, and a total of 294 high-risk samples (1.15%) were detected, of which further diagnosis was made in 208 cases, true positive samples were detected in 96 cases, and further tests were refused in 86 cases.71 cases (0.28%) of autosomal aneuploid high-risk samples were detected and 51 cases were diagnosed, including 44 cases of trisomy 21 (T21), 5 cases of trisomy 18 (T18), and 2 cases of trisomy 13 (T13). The PPV was 90.90%, 45.45% and 33.33%, respectively. Thirteen high-risk samples of trisomy 21, 18, and 13 were detected, and 1 case was confirmed as T21 mosaic PPV was 8.33% NPV was 100%. High-risk samples of sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) were detected in 72 cases (0.28%), 23 cases were diagnosed, and the PPV was 40.07%. The PPV was 12.00%, 50.00%, 72.73% and 75.00%, respectively, and the PPV was 12.00%, 50.00%, 72.73% and 75.00%, respectively. High-risk samples of copy number variation (CNV) were detected in 104 cases (0.41%), and 18 cases were diagnosed, with a PPV of 32.14%. Other high-risk samples of chromosome aneuploidy were detected in 34 cases (0.13%), and 3 cases were diagnosed as T2, T9, and T16, respectively. PPV is 8.70%.Conclusion: NIPT is suitable for trisomy 21, 18, and 13 screening, especially for T21. It also has a certain reference value for SCA and microdeletion and microduplication syndromes(MMS), and it is not recommended for screening for other chromosomal aneuploidies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
