Efficiency of noninvasive prenatal testing for the detection of fetal microdeletions and microduplications in autosomal chromosomes

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is commonly used to screen for fetal genetic abnormalities. However, the ability of NIPT to detect copy number variations (CNVs) has not been reported.

Genetic effects of a 13q31.1 microdeletion detected by noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2015
Microdeletions of chromosome 13q31.1 are relatively rare. These types of deletions may cause different genetic effects on genotypes and/or phenotypes. There are several ways to detect microdeletions; noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is the newest detection method.

It’s More Than a Blood Test: Patients’ Perspectives on Noninvasive Prenatal Testing

, 2014
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) offers pregnant women a new risk assessment tool for fetal aneuploidy that is superior to conventional screening tests. We conducted focus groups with women who were currently pregnant or had recently delivered in the

Cell-free fetal DNA-based noninvasive prenatal testing of aneuploidy [PDF]

, 2017
Key contentNoninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) uses cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) to test for aneuploidy, as opposed to noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD), which uses cffDNA to diagnose fetal sex, Rhesus D status and monogenic disorders.

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT): A Paradigm Shift in Prenatal Care

International Journal of Preventive Medicine
Prenatal screening has undergone a profound transformation with the emergence of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), a technology that analyzes cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal blood to detect common chromosomal abnormalities.
