Validation study of MaterniT21 for Trisomy 21
• International collaboration of 27 prenatal diagnostic centers
• 4,664 singleton pregnancies
• NIPT samples collected from women high-risk for Trisomy 21 pursuing prenatal diagnostic testing
• NIPT T21 Detection rate = 98.6% (209 of 212)
• False positive rate = 0.2% (3/1471)
• Failures/non-reportable rate = 0.9% (13/1471) – all failures were in euploid pregnancies
