Article Synopsis
  • The study assesses the effectiveness of invasive prenatal testing using chromosomal microarray analysis (aCGH) following first-trimester screenings, focusing on the prevalence of chromosomal abnormalities across various nuchal translucency (NT) thicknesses and the presence of structural anomalies detected via ultrasound.
  • Conducted as a retrospective cohort study in Polish prenatal diagnosis centers, the research analyzed 1,746 prenatal samples from 2018 to 2021, with indications for testing mainly including high risk for Down syndrome and advanced maternal age.
  • Findings revealed that classical karyotyping detected chromosomal abnormalities in 19.1% of cases, while aCGH identified clinically relevant copy number variants (CNVs) in 5%, with both
