    Journal Article

    Objective We sought to evaluate performance of a noninvasive prenatal test for fetal trisomy 21 (T21) and trisomy 18 (T18). Study Design A multicenter cohort study was performed whereby cell-free DNA from maternal plasma was analyzed. Chromosome-selective sequencing on chromosomes 21 and 18 was performed with reporting of an aneuploidy risk (High Risk or Low Risk) for each subject. Results Of the 81 T21 cases, all were classified as High Risk for T21 and there was 1 false-positive result among the 2888 normal cases, for a sensitivity of 100% (95% confidence interval CI, 95.5–100%) and a false-positive rate of 0.03% (95% CI, 0.002–0.20%). Of the 38 T18 cases, 37 were classified as High Risk and there were 2 false-positive results among the 2888 normal cases, for a sensitivity of 97.4% (95% CI, 86.5–99.9%) and a false-positive rate of 0.07% (95% CI, 0.02–0.25%). Conclusion Chromosome-selective sequencing of cell-free DNA and application of an individualized risk algorithm is effective in the detection of fetal T21 and T18.
