Popis: | Objective Non invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) has been widely accepted in recent years to detect common fetal autosomal chromosome aneuploidies and sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs). In this study, the clinical performance of our fetal DNA testing was investigated by analyzing the sex chromosome aneuploidy aberrations among 9985 pregnancies. The study was a retrospective analysis of collected NIPT data from the Ion S5 next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform obtained from Altamedica Medical Centre of Rome. Results NIPT analysis of 9985 pregnancies revealed 31 cases with abnormal SCA results (0.31%). Among the 31 positive NIPT cases, 22 women agreed to undergo fetal karyotyping, whereas 9 refused further analyses. Of the 22 women verified by karyotyping analysis, 77.3% (17/22) were confirmed to be true positive SCAs, whereas 22.7% (5/22) were false positive. Among the true positive cases, 53.0% (9/17) were positive for monosomy X, 17.6% (3/17) were positive for 47, XXX aneuploidy, 23.5% (4/17) were positive for 47, XXY aneuploidy, and 5.9% (1/17) were positive for 47, XYY aneuploidy. In conclusion, the present results confirm that NIPT is a potential method for SCA screening, although this technology needs to be further investigated to improve the test performance. |
