- 87 studies met inclusion criteria for this systematic evidence review, evaluating NIPT performance in a general-risk population.
- Performance for RATs and CNVs was variable and poorer than for common trisomies. For RATs, this is likely related to the rarity of RATs and insufficient data to develop a method that can distinguish between clinically significant RATs present in the fetus versus CPM.
- “Reported overall sensitivity to detect CNVs ranged from 69.44% to 80.56%. When stratified by CNV size, in general, the sensitivity to detect larger CNVs was better than for detecting smaller CNVs. The sensitivity to detect CNVs larger than 5 megabases (Mb) was >90%, whereas for those smaller than 5 Mb, it was 68.42%.”
- NIPT is the only laboratory-based prenatal screen that can identify SCAs, RATs, and CNVs.
