Abstract
- The phenotype of SCA patients are diversities, make prenatal counseling and parental decision-making following the prenatal diagnosis of SCA more complicated and challenging. NIPT has higher sensitivity and specificity in screening trisomy 21 syndrome, but the effectiveness of NIPT in detecting SCA is still controversial. This study is a large-scale retrospective cohort of positive SCA screened from unselected singleton pregnancies by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) from a single prenatal center of a tertiary hospital. Clinical information, indications, diagnostic results, ultrasound findings, pregnancy determinations, and follow-up were reviewed and analyzed. 596 cases of SCA positive were screened out of 122 453, giving a positive detection rate of 0.49%. 510 cases (85.6%) conducted with amniocentesis to detect fetal chromosome, of which 236 were confirmed as true positive of SCA with PPV of 46.3% (236/510). Of the 236 cases confirmed as true positive SCA, 114 cases (48.3%)chose to terminate the pregnancy (93.0%, 65.3%, 15.4% and 10.9% for 45,X, 47,XXY, 47,XXX and 47,XYY, respectively), 122 cases (51.7%) elected to continue the pregnancy. In conclusions, NIPT as a first-tier routine method for screening autosomal aneuploidies, also could play an important role in screening SCA. Low-risk pregnant women are the main indication for the detection of SCA as NIPT test provides to non-selective population. For 47,XXX and 47,XYY with mild phenotype, couples would like to continue the pregnancy. But for 45,X and 47,XXY, parents apt to terminate pregnancy no matter ultrasound abnormalities were found or not.<br /> (© 2024 Japanese Teratology Society.)
