Monocentric Study on the Performance of Noninvasive Prenatal Testing on Cell-Free DNA for the Detection of Monosomy X.

Although the PPV for fetal monosomy X remains lower than for the common trisomies, the total PPV for 45,X screening with NIPT can be improved by discerning fetal from (mosaic) maternal 45,X genotype. Thorough follow-up to determine the origin of the aberrant NIPT result is advised, so that women can be adequately counseled on the risk in their current and future pregnancies and, in case of maternal mosaic monosomy X, of their own prospects.
