- This publication recognizes that fetal chromosome anomalies beyond the common aneuploidies occur more frequently than previously thought and subsequently can impact fetal development. As such, the authors propose a screening strategy for Expanded NIPT to detect chromosome anomalies beyond the common trisomies. Results showed that Expanded NIPT can screen for rare autosomal aneuploidies and partial deletions/duplications with an acceptable sensitivity and a small increase in the rate of invasive testing.
