Application of a noninvasive prenatal test in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficiency of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) versus first-trimester prenatal screening in pregnant women in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area (YNAA).Kaplanova M.T., Galaktionova A.M., Sagaydak O.V., Kuznetsova E.S., Belenikin M.S., Baranova E.E., Denisov A.G.
Materials and methods: A total of 2050 blood samples taken from pregnant women in the YNAA on August 8, 2020 to November 30, 2021 were analyzed. NIPT was done using whole-genome sequencing technology. When a high risk for fetal chromosomal abnormalities (CA) was identified on the basis of NIPT results, a cytogenetic study of the fetal material obtained was performed during an invasive procedure. To assess clinical efficacy, the results of NIPT were compared with those of invasive prenatal diagnosis (IPD).
Results: A high risk of fetal CA, as evidenced by NIPT, was determined in 25 of the 2050 cases; first-trimester prenatal screening additionally revealed 15 high risks of fetal CA among the pregnant women at medium and low risks, as shown by prenatal screening results. NIPT could potentially reduce the number of IPD cases in pregnant women by 51.9% (from 52% to 25) and that of false positive prenatal screening results (from 52% to 10%) and increase the proportion of pregnant women who agreed to undergo IPD by 14.5% (from 13.5% to 28%).
Conclusion: The inclusion of NIPT in the practical health care of the YNAA improves the quality of care for pregnant women.
