Low fetal fraction in obese women at first trimester cell‐free DNA based prenatal screening is not accompanied by differences in total cell‐free DNA
23 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Reasons for first trimester noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) test failure in obese women remain elusive. As dilution from maternal sources may be explanatory, we determined the relationship between obesity, fetal fraction (FF), and total cell-free DNA (cfDNA) using our NIPS platform. METHODS: We assessed differences in first trimester (≤14 weeks) FF, indeterminate rate, and total cfDNA between...
