Not a diagnostic test
- If an expanded NIPT detects a microdeletion, remember that this is not a diagnostic test, and can’t tell you with 100 percent accuracy that your baby has a particular condition — they only give you a calculation of the odds.

Jan 6, 2023 · NIPS, a genetic option available from 10 weeks gestational age, has a 70–83% detection rate and a 40–50% PPV for most associated 22q11.2 microdeletions. Prenatal imaging, usually by ultrasound, can detect several physical features associated with 22q11.2DS.

Jan 6, 2023 · Thus, follow-up prenatal diagnostic testing with CMA is recommended for all patients with a positive NIPS result for 22q11.2 microdeletion. When fetal CMA results are found to be normal, it is appropriate to extend CMA to maternal DNA for recurrence risk evaluation and clinical assessment and management [ 16 , 17 ].

A microdeletion is an abnormality that occurs when a piece of a chromosome is missing. In fact, it’s just what it sounds like: micro (tiny); deletion (taken away). You might remember from high school biology that virtually all of our cells contain chromosomes with DNA; we get 23 from each parent for a total of 46. Throughout your life, your cells r...
Unlike other chromosomal abnormalities, which are more likely to occur in moms with certain risk factors (such as those who are 35 years or older or who have a family history of a genetic disorder), microdeletions seem to occur randomly (which means they don’t usually run in families) and equally affect any baby regardless of other risk factors. In...
One test that is widely ordered after 9 weeks for moms-to-be is the non-invasive prenatal test(NIPT). This is a blood test that provides information about the health of your still-developing baby. NIPT screens for the most common chromosomal disorders: Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) and Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome). An exp...
If an expanded NIPT detects a microdeletion, remember that this is not a diagnostic test, and can’t tell you with 100 percent accuracy that your baby has a particular condition — they only give you a calculation of the odds. If it’s high enough, your doctor may recommend consulting with a genetic fetal medicine specialist or having additional testi...
The Harmony test looks for 22q11.2 microdeletion, the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and heart defects after Down syndrome. 1 While it can be inherited from a parent, most babies with 22q11.2 microdeletion are the first in their family to be diagnosed. 3 Some people with 22q11.2 microdeletion have very subtle features that ...
Apr 19, 2022 · A recent study of over 18 thousand of pregnancies published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology demonstrated that 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is more common than previously reported.2 Read on to learn more about 22q11.2 and how to identify it during pregnancy. What are chromosomal conditions?
Aug 25, 2020 · NIPT is a blood test that utilizes cell-free DNA technology (cfDNA) to predict the risk for fetal genetic disorders during pregnancy. In 2011, NIPT was introduced as a screen for T21 (trisomy 21 or Down syndrome).
