“Broader adoption of NIPT: Implications for Health Systems”
In August 2020, ACOG/SMFM issued guidelines recommending cfDNA (NIPT) be offered to all patients regardless of maternal age or baseline risk. Watch our webinar to learn more.
“Cell-free DNA [NIPT] can be performed in twin pregnancies“
“…one laboratory method which uses SNP analysis reports zygosity as well as individual fetal fractions.“
“[In twin gestations,] it is possible that an aneuploid fetus would contribute less fetal DNA, therefore masking the aneuploid result.”
Highlights known sources of false positives for most NIPTs:
- Vanishing twin, - Maternal mosaicism
“Of the [NIPT] methods, the [SNP-based] method can identify triploidy.”
“…the lower prevalence of fetal trisomies in younger patients results in…a lower PPV…”
Strong clinical evidence with robust PPVs regardless of age, based on a large outcomes study with >700,000 patients under <35.
