Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for monogenic diseases (NIPD‐M) to detect inherited mutations is performed in parallel with fetal fraction signatures, to detect various anomalies that may compromise diagnosis. An extra regression analysis may be necessary to resolve mosaic situations. ABSTRACT Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis relies on the analysis of the
