Maternal BMI - increased BMI associated with decreased FF Failed to provide a result in 20% of women >250 lb and 50% of women >350 lb. Gestational age The less fetal DNA, the harder to Increases after 21 weeks tell normal from abnormal Aneuploidy Increased FF with infants with T21 Decreased FF with infants with T18 Twins 4

Twins Unaffected twin may mask an affected twin False positive rate is high for monosomy X Although initial studies are reassuring regarding use of cfDNA for T21 in twins, the overall data Patients may learn about possible sex are limited chromosome aneuploidy even when they are primarily interested in fetal sex Not currently recommended by ACOG/SMFM For higher order multiples Maternal age and In some cases, may be abnormal if the nuchal translucency measurement for mother has an undiagnosed sex aneuploidy estimation chromosome aneuploidy 6
6/13/2019 Cell Free DNA Vs. Serum Cell free DNA for ultrasound screening abnormalities? What if CF DNA is normal followed by Negative cfDNA and isolated ‘soft marker’ abnormal serum screening Diagnostic testing is not recommended solely for this indication Raises concern for other chromosomal Structural abnormality on ultrasound abnormality Offer diagnostic testing using microarray I n a study by Norton et al. the residual risk was 2% The majority of congenital structural abnormalities are due to microdeletions or single gene disorders The lowest detection rate for cfDNA in that cannot reliably be detected by cell free DNA women who were <25 years old Invasive testing is recommended Cell free DNA for Rh blood Cell Free DNA for typing? Microdeletions? Chromosomal microdeletions account for many syndromes Lo and colleagues accurately assess fetal May have developmental delay and medical issues Rh status using cfDNA using PCR There are approximately 40 well described microdeletions Negative predictive value as high as 98% Low baseline prevalence of each microdeletion syndrome PPV is signficantly impacted Moise and colleagues (2016) reported false negative in 1 in 520 cases and inconclusive results in 5-6% of cases 7

6/13/2019 What do we do at UCSF? Thank you! Serum integrated screening First trimester screening with Nuchal Translucency Screen positive patients are counseled to undergo invasive testing If a patient declines invasive testing, cell free DNA is offered as an option that is paid for by California in this setting We do occasionally recommend cell free DNA for specific single gene disorders Thank you!
