Abstract excerpt
More and more women rely on non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) to detect fetal sex and risk for aneuploidy. The testing applies massively parallel sequencing or single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray to circulating cell-free DNA to determine relative copy number. In addition to trisomies 13, 18, and 21, some labs offer screening for sex chromosome abnormalities as part of their test. In this study,...
