A Genetic Counselor, CITO Clinical Laboratory
Definition genetic counseling
• Communication process which deals with the human
problems associated with the occurrence or the risk of
occurrence of a genetic disorder in a family
Notes
• Detection rate = how many pregnancies where the baby really DOES have
the chromosome difference will be flagged as high risk by this test
• False positive rate = how many pregnancies will this test flag as high risk
but the baby does NOT really have the chromosome difference
Microdeletion Syndromes
• additional genetic conditions, called microdeletion syndromes
• missing pieces of chromosomes (ie. deletions) and vary in severity,
ranging from no symptoms to serious health and developmental
concerns
• The chance for a baby having a microdeletion is not related to
maternal age
• individually rare in the general population and difficult to study
Benefits of NIPT
• Accuracy: NIPT is a more accurate screening test for trisomies 21, 18
and 13 than traditional screening (eFTS and MSS)
à Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Compare 2 methods:
• Standard screening
(nuchal translucency &
biochemical analysis
• Cell-free DNA (cfDNA)
Trisomy 18 = 10 cases
Trisomy 21 = 38 cases cfDNA identified 10 (9 cases)
cfDNA identified 47 (38 cases)
- 9 false positive (0.06%) - 1 false positive (0.01%)
- PPV 80.9% - PPV 90%
Standard screening identified Standard screening identified
884 (30) 57 (8 cases)
- 854 false positive (5.4%) - 49 false positive (0.31%)
- PPV 3.4%
- PPV 14%
Trisomy 13 = 2 cases
cfDNA identified 3 (2 cases)
- 1 false positive (0.02%)
- PPV 50%
Standard screening identified
29 (1 case)
- 28 false positive (0.25%)
- PPV 3.4%
• 720/781 cases positive for T21
• 167/218 cases positive for T18
• 22/67 cases positive for T13
• Nine false negatives: 6 cases of
T21 and 3 of T18
• Sensitivity was 99.17% (T21),
98.24% (T18) and 100%(T13)
• Specificity was 99.95% (T21),
99.95% (T18), and 99.96% (13)
