Abstract
With the increasing capabilities of non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), detection of sub‐chromosomal deletions and duplications are possible.
Mosaicism ratio, or MR, is a laboratory metric that can be calculated using massively parallel sequencing data from cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening. MR compares the amount of cfDNA present from a particular chromosome or chromosomal region to the overall fetal fraction of the specimen.
MaterniT21 validation for sex chromosome aneuploidy
• MPSS technology for NIPT allows for genome wide analysis, and thus opportunity for expansion to other clinically relevant fetal chromosomal abnormalities, like sex chromosome aneuploidy
• 411 NIPT samples
• 96.2% sensitivity and 99.7% specificity overall (combined SCAs)
• NIPT identification of the most
