- Retrospective study of over 19,000 pregnancies with NIPT.
- “The positive predictive value (PPV) of CNV-seq for all types of CNV detected by NIPT was 35.4%, with PPVs of 61.5 and 27.6% for pathogenic MMSs [microdeletion/microduplication syndromes] and nonsyndromic CNVs, respectively. PPVs for NIPT showed different values depending on gestational characteristics, with the highest PPV for NIPT in the group with increased nuchal thickness (66.7%) and for the abnormal ultrasound group (57.1%). CNVs ≤5 Mb with normal ultrasound findings were generally associated with a healthy fetus.”
