Insufficient FF was not an indicator of aneuploidy risk or adverse pregnancy outcomes in this study. Caution should be taken in generalizing aneuploidy risk to all low FF cfDNA failures. Redrawing may be an appropriate next step, as proceeding directly with diagnostic testing for aneuploidy may be unwarranted for most patients.
