Article Synopsis
- Genome-wide prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening can detect various fetal chromosomal anomalies, including common trisomies and rare autosomal aneuploidies, based on a study of 6,000 pregnant patients in Spain.
- Out of the patients screened, 3.3% were identified as high-risk, with specific incidences noted for trisomy 21, 18, 13, and other anomalies, leading to effective calculations of positive predictive values (PPVs) for each condition.
- The study also tracked pregnancy and birth outcomes, revealing that some anomalies were linked to adverse conditions like preeclampsia and preterm birth, highlighting the effectiveness and clinical relevance of cfDNA screening in prenatal care
