Clinical Utility of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First‐Trimester Ultrasound Screening in a Setting With First‐Tier NIPT for Aneuploidy Screening

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the additional clinical value of nuchal translucency (NT) measurement at the first‐trimester anomaly scan (FTAS) in a setting with first‐tier non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Method This nationwide prospective cohort study, part of the IMITAS study on FTAS implementation, included all pregnancies with increased NT

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT): is routinization problematic?

BMC Medical Ethics, 2023
Abstract Background The introduction and wide application of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has triggered further evolution of routines in the practice of prenatal diagnosis. ‘Routinization’ of prenatal diagnosis however has been associated with hampered informed choice and eugenic attitudes or outcomes.

Attitudes Toward Prenatal Interventions in the Fanconi Anemia Community

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In‐utero cell and gene therapies may offer prenatal treatment options for inherited diseases. Preclinical data suggests in‐utero (IU) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could prevent Fanconi anemia (FA) related bone marrow failure without genotoxic conditioning or immune suppression.

Understanding knowledge, perception, and willingness of non-invasive prenatal testing for fetal aneuploidy: a survey among Chinese high-risk pregnant women

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
ObjectivesNon-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is utilized for screening the likelihood of fetal aneuploidy, presenting the benefits of non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, and specificity. Its application in prenatal screening has become ubiquitous.

Prenatal Screening Via cfDNA – Paired‐End Sequencing Utilizing Fragment Size Information Reduces the Screen Positive Rate for X Chromosome Aneuploidies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal cfDNA screening has transformed care, yet it remains difficult to determine whether X aneuploidy signals originate from the patient or fetus, inflating screen positive and false positive rates. One potential solution is to incorporate fragment size data from paired‐end sequencing (PES).
