Performance of noninvasive prenatal screening for fetal sex chromosome aneuploidies in a cohort of 116,862 pregnancies.
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics 2024 March 26
BACKGROUND: Noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) has shown good performance in screening common aneuploidies. However, its performance in detecting fetal sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs) needs to be evaluated in a large cohort.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In this retrospective observation, a total of 116,862 women underwent NIPS based on DNA nanoball sequencing from 2015 to 2022. SCAs were diagnosed based on karyotyping or chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Among them, 2,084 singleton pregnancies received karyotyping and/or CMA. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of NIPS for fetal SCAs were evaluated.
RESULTS: The sensitivity was 97.7% (95%CI, 87.7-99.9), 87.3% (95% CI, 76.5-94.4), 96.1% (95%CI, 86.5-99.5), and 95.7% (95% CI, 78.1-99.9), the PPV was 25.8% (95%CI, 19.2-33.2), 80.9% (95%CI, 69.5-89.4), 79.0% (95%CI, 66.8-88.3), and 53.7% (95%CI, 37.4-69.3) for 45,X, 47,XXY, 47,XXX, and 47,XYY, respectively. The specificity was 94.1% (95%CI, 93.0-95.1) for 45,X, and more than 99.0% for sex chromosome trisomy (SCT). The NPV was over 99.0% for all.
CONCLUSIONS: NIPS screening for fetal SCAs has high sensitivity, specificity and NPV. The PPV of SCAs was moderate, but that of 45,X was lower than that of SCTs. Invasive prenatal diagnosis should be recommended for high-risk patients.
