Non-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 کاملNoninvasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPAT) through Maternal Plasma DNA Sequencing: A Pilot Study
Short tandem repeats (STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been already used to perform noninvasive prenatal paternity testing from maternal plasma DNA. The frequently used technologies were PCR followed by capillary electrophoresis and SNP typing array, respectively. Here, we developed a noninvasive prenatal paternity testing (NIPAT) based on SNP typing with maternal plasma DN...

متن کاملAneuploidy screening by non‐invasive prenatal testing in twin pregnancy
OBJECTIVES To describe our experience with non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in twin pregnancy. METHODS Two sets of maternal blood samples from twin pregnancies were analyzed at our laboratory using NIPT: 115 stored samples from pregnancies with known outcome (Clinical Study A) and 487 prospectively collected samples for which outcomes were requested from providers (Clinical Study B). NIPT...
متن کاملFactors Affecting the Clinical Use of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a technique first developed in the early 1990’s that enables testing of a fetus for genetic conditions, based on a sample of maternal blood [1]. Small fragments of extracellular DNA from both mother and fetus are present in maternal plasma, and by excluding fragments of maternal origin, the fetus can be tested for sex, aneuploidy and some specific genetic...
