  4. 6/7/2018 Cell free DNA screening: Biologic Challenges Cell free DNA screening: Biologic Challenges False Positives  Unrecognized or “vanishing”twin False negatives  Placental Mosaicism  Low level of fetal DNA  Low level maternal mosaicism, esp. sex chromosomes  Placental mosaicism  Maternal genetic variation (copy number variants)  Maternal genetic variation (copy number  Maternal Malignancy variants) Example of report and question Cell free DNA screening: Biologic Challenges Failed Results  Increased BMI  Low level of fetal DNA  Fetal Aneuploidy 4

  6. 6/7/2018 S h o u l d a l l w o m e n b e o f f e r e d Microdeletions are rare s c r e e n i n g f o r m i c r o d e l e t i o n s ? Expanded panels  Trisomies 9, 16 and 22  Rarely seen in viable pregnancies except as mosaics  Microdeletions • Microdeletions can be detected by cfDNA, but…  22q, 1q36, 5p-, 4p-, 15q11-13, 8q-, 11q- • Difficult to validate • Much of the data on in vitro samples  Whole genome • Clinical testing includes small number of syndromes • 22q, 1q36, 5p-, 4p-, 15q11-13 (Prader-Willi/Angelman) 6

  7. 6/7/2018 Prevalence of many microdeletion syndromes is unknown  Many such clinical syndromes are caused by different molecular mechanisms 95 cases were identified as Positive  Only deletions detected 61 positives with follow up dx testing  Smaller deletions more difficult to detect  22q syndrome (~1/4000) 11 true positives 50 false positives  85% have 3Mb deletion, 15% smaller  “97% detection” refers to only 3Mb deletion Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol, 2016 cfDNA for Microdeletions Noninvasive Microarray Sequenced 565 samples: Prevalence of 5 microdeletion syndromes: ~1/2500 31 with CNV and 534 normal Prevalence of CNV by microarray: 1/60 • Detected 83% with CNV >6Mb but only 20% (2/10) that were <6Mb Detection rate of cfDNA for all pathogenic CNV: 4.2% • 2/534 false positives • More sequencing = higher sensitivity 7

  8. 6/7/2018 The false positives add up…  Screening for these microdeletions has not been validated in clinical studies.  Routine cell-free DNA screening for microdeletion syndromes should not be performed. T h e F u t u r e : N o n i n v a s i v e W h o l e G e n o m e S e q u e n c i n g • Coding and non coding portions • Single nucleotide variants • Deletions and Duplications • Copy number variants 8

(2017) reports on the clinical experience of one lab’s experience with the • RAISES BOTH PRACTICAL AND first 10,000 cases ETHICAL ISSUES  reports on copy number variations >7 Mb • MAY GIVE INFORMATION  25% of samples were sent due to an ultrasound abnormality REGARDING RISK FOR ADULT ONSET CONDITIONS THAT  Screen-positive test results were reported in 554 cases, leading to a screen-positive rate ARE NOT RELEVANT of approximately 5.4% (compared with 2.3% in traditional cfDNA screening)  However, pregnancy outcomes not available so no data on false positive or false negatives Non-Invasive Single Gene Tests C e l l f r e e D N A t e s t i n g f o r s i n g l e g e n e d i s o r d e r s  Maternal and fetal cell free DNA cannot be easily distinguished  Current clinically available for limited conditions  Can identify de novo or paternal gene mutation circulating in maternal blood  Achondroplasia  An affected fetus will have an overrepresentation of the mutant allele in  Thanatophoric dysplasia maternal plasma DNA  Apert syndrome  Ideal for autosomal dominant paternally inherited conditions  Cystic fibrosis  Useful if testing for an autosomal recessive condition and parents have different mutations 9

  10. 6/7/2018 Back to our case…  Our patient underwent cell free DNA testing with micro deletions  Her results were normal so she declined any further testing  Level II ultrasound was notable for unilateral cleft lip and palate and abnormal profile  Amniocentesis confirmed deletion of 8.9 MB deletion on 4p consistent with Wolf-Hirshorn Current guidelines ACOG/SMFM guidelines  Conventional screening is most appropriate first line screen for most patients  Ethically any patient may choose cfDNA screening, but should be counseled regarding limitations and benefits  Diagnostic testing is required to confirm abnormal results before irreversible decisions  Not recommended in twin pregnancies Special thanks to Mary Norton, MD  Microdeletion/expanded panels for cell free DNA are not recommended 10
