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 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...
متن کاملNon-invasive prenatal testing for rare chromosomal anomalies
Correspondence: Dr. C.A. Ionescu e-mail: antoniuginec@ yahoo.com After numerous clinical validation studies, non-invasive prenatal testing for fetal aneuploidy detection is now a clinical reality. While non-invasive prenatal testing was accepted due to the high accuracy for fetal trisomy (21, 18 and 13) detection, recent research showed that genome-wide analysis is able to detect other fetal an...
متن کاملNon-invasive prenatal testing.
BACKGROUND Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), also known as cell-free DNA testing and non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS), is an important addition to the range of screening tests for fetal chromosomal abnormalities. For trisomy 21 in particular, NIPT is superior to other screening modalities. However, NIPT has limitations and complexities that requesting clinicians and their patients sho...
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...
