Predicting fetoplacental mosaicism during cfDNA-based NIPT
24 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cell-free DNA-based noninvasive prenatal testing (cfDNA-based NIPT) using maternal blood is highly sensitive for detecting fetal trisomies. However, false-positive and false-negative results can occur, which prevents NIPT from being a diagnostic test. Fetoplacental mosaicism is one of the main reasons for discordant test results. It is therefore important to understand this phenomenon to enable...
