  • Genome-Wide Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (GW-NIPT) can detect not just common chromosomal abnormalities but also rare autosomal trisomies and structural chromosomal issues, though data on their predictive value is limited.
  • The study analyzed 17 publications covering 740,076 cases to assess the accuracy of GW-NIPT for rare abnormalities, utilizing both confirmed and extended methodologies to define true positive cases.
  • Findings highlighted that T16, T22, and T15 had the highest rates of true positives, providing essential insights for genetic counseling and improving decision-making for patients and healthcare providers.
