Evaluation of the clinical effects of non-invasive prenatal screening for diseases associated with aneuploidy and copy number variation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore and compare the clinical effects of high-resolution non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS-Plus) for common/uncommon chromosomal aneuploidy and microdeletion/microduplication syndromes (MMS).

Methods

The current prospective study included a total of 25,380 pregnant women who performed NIPS-Plus, and amniocentesis was performed on women with MMS with the screening results to diagnose patients with suspected MMS.

Results

There were 415 samples with positive results for NIPS-Plus, included 275 with aneuploidy and 140 with MMS. After diagnosis by amniocentesis, 188 cases were confirmed as true positive, included46 cases of T21, 9 cases of T18, 1 case of T13, 34 cases of SCA, 41 cases of other chromosomal euploidy and 57 cases of MMS. In addition, no false negative cases were found, MMS was classified with 5 Mb with the cutoff value, and the PPV of different fragment size was counted, respectively.

Conclusion

We found that the corresponding PPV was 44.66% with the fragment of copy number variation (CNV) being less than or equal to 5 Mb, and when it was greater than 5 Mb, the PPV was 29.73%, which suggested that NIPS-Plus was more suitable for screening the PPV of small fragment abnormalities. NIPS-Plus has a good application effect in routine aneuploidy screening and had the best detection effect for T21; moreover, it performed well in screening of MMS and had better detection effect on MMS with CNV fragment length less than 5 Mb. Based on the current results, we suggested that NIPS-Plus should be used as a comprehensive elementary prenatal screening method for all pregnant women, but for MMS caused by abnormal large fragment CNV, the detection method and efficiency still need to be improved.

Project description:Objective: To evaluate positive rate and accuracy of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) combining Z-score and maternal copy number variation (CNV) analysis. To assess the relationship between Z-score and positive predictive value (PPV). Methods: This prospective study included 61525 pregnancies to determine the correlation between Z-scores and PPV in NIPT, and 3184 pregnancies to perform maternal CNVs analysis. Positive results of NIPT were verified by prenatal diagnosis and/or following-up after birth. Z-score grouping, logistic regression analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and S-curve trends were applied to correlation analysis of Z-scores and PPV. The maternal CNVs were classified according to the technical standard for the interpretation of ACMG. Through genetic counseling, fetal and maternal phenotypes and family histories were collected. Results: Of the 3184 pregnant women, 22 pregnancies were positive for outlier Z-scores, suggesting fetal aneuploidy. 12 out of 22 pregnancies were true positive (PPV = 54.5%). 17 pregnancies were found maternal pathogenic or likely pathogenic CNVs (> 0.5 Mb) through maternal CNV analysis. Prenatal diagnosis revealed that 7 out of 11 fetuses carried the same CNVs as the mother. Considering the abnormal biochemical indicators during pregnancy and CNV-related clinical phenotypes after birth, two male fetuses without prenatal diagnosis were suspected to carry the maternally-derived CNVs. Further, we identified three CNV-related family histories with variable phenotypes. Statistical analysis of the 61525 pregnancies revealed that Z-scores of chromosomes 21 and 18 were significantly associated with PPV at 3 ≤ Z ≤ 40. Notably, three pregnancies with Z > 40 were both maternal full aneuploidy. At Z < -3, fetuses carried microdeletions instead of monosomies. Sex chromosome trisomy was significantly higher PPV than monosomy. Conclusion: The positive rate of the NIPT screening model combining Z-score and maternal CNV analysis increased from 6.91‰ (22/3184) to 12.25‰ (39/3184) and true positives increased from 12 to 21 pregnancies. We found that this method could improve the positive rate and accuracy of NIPT for aneuploidies and CNVs without increasing testing costs. It provides an early warning for the inheritance of pathogenic CNVs to the next generation.

Project description:BackgroundNoninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has been wildly used to screen for common aneuplodies. In recent years, the test has been expanded to detect rare autosomal aneuploidies (RATs) and copy number variations (CNVs). This study was performed to investigate the performance of expanded noninvasive prenatal testing (expanded NIPT) in screening for common trisomies, sex chromosomal aneuploidies (SCAs), rare autosomal aneuploidies (RATs), and copy number variations (CNVs) and parental willingness for invasive prenatal diagnosis in a Chinese prenatal diagnosis center.MethodsA total of 24,702 pregnant women were retrospectively analyzed at the Women and Children's Hospital from January 2013 to April 2019, among which expanded NIPT had been successfully conducted in 24,702 pregnant women. The high-risk expanded NIPT results were validated by karyotype analysis and chromosomal microarray analysis. All the tested pregnant women were followed up for pregnancy outcomes.ResultsOf the 24,702 cases, successful follow-up was conducted in 98.77% (401/446) of cases with common trisomies and SCAs, 91.95% (80/87) of RAT and CNV cases, and 76.25% (18,429/24,169) of cases with low-risk screening results. The sensitivity of expanded NIPT was 100% (95% confidence interval[CI], 97.38-100%), 96.67%(95%CI, 82.78-99.92%), and 100%(95%CI, 66.37-100.00%), and the specificity was 99.92%(95%CI, 99.87-99.96%), 99.96%(95%CI, 99.91-99.98%), and 99.88% (95%CI, 99.82-99.93%) for the detection of trisomies 21, 18, and 13, respectively. Expanded NIPT detected 45,X, 47,XXX, 47,XXY, XYY syndrome, RATs, and CNVs with positive predictive values of 25.49%, 75%, 94.12%, 76.19%, 6.45%, and 50%, respectively. The women carrying fetuses with Trisomy 21/Trisomy 18/Trisomy 13 underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis and terminated their pregnancies at higher rates than those at high risk for SCAs, RATs, and CNVs.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that the expanded NIPT detects fetal trisomies 21, 18, and 13 with high sensitivity and specificity. The accuracy of detecting SCAs, RATs, and CNVs is still relatively poor and needs to be improved. With a high-risk expanded NIPT result, the women at high risk for common trisomies are more likely to undergo invasive prenatal diagnosis procedures and terminate their pregnancies than those with unusual chromosome abnormalities.
