Improving 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 کاملP-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 کاملPositive predictive value of non-invasive prenatal screening for fetal chromosome disorders using cell-free DNA in maternal serum: independent clinical experience of a tertiary referral center
BACKGROUND Non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) for fetal chromosome abnormalities using cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA) in maternal serum has significantly influenced prenatal diagnosis of fetal aneuploidies since becoming clinically available in the fall of 2011. High sensitivity and specificity have been reported in multiple publications, nearly all of which have been sponsored by ...
متن کاملImproving the positive predictive value of exercise testing in women.
OBJECTIVE To identify exercise test variables that can improve the positive predictive value of exercise testing in women. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Regional cardiothoracic centre. SUBJECTS 1286 women and 1801 men referred by primary care physicians to a rapid access chest pain clinic, of whom 160 women and 406 men had ST depression of at least 1 mm during exercise testing. The results...
متن کاملThe clinical utility of genome-wide non invasive prenatal screening.
OBJECTIVE In this study, we expanded conventional cell-free fetal DNA (cfDNA)-based non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to cover the entire genome. We aimed to compare the performance of the two tests in a large general population of pregnant women, in order to assess the clinical utility of the genome-wide screening. METHOD Genome-wide cfDNA analysis was offered to 12 114 pregnant women und...
