Brief summary
The study aims to evaluate cell-based non-invasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT) as an alternative to invasive chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in patients who achieve pregnancy following preimplantation genetic testing for hereditary disorders.
Detailed description
The study has three main objects: 1. to evaluate the optimal time of blood sampling (gestational week 7-8 or 11-14) 2. to evaluate whole genome amplification prior to genetic analysis og isolated fetal cells (only relevant for monogenic disorders) 3. evaluating specificity and sensitivity
Interventions
DNA is amplified by whole genome amplification
Sponsors
Study design
Intervention model description
All patients had either one or two blood samples collected. Each blood sampled had either all cells lyzed or cells were split between lysis and whole genome amplification. Hence, the study is considered to have to seperate analysis each with two arms.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Pregnancy following preimplantation genetic testing
Exclusion criteria
* None
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of the fetal cell yield when blood sampling is performed at Gestational weeks 7-8 compared to gestational weeks 11-14. | Within 2 years | Evaluation of whether cbNIPT be performed in gestational week 7-8. |
| Percentage of test with an informative test result from genetic testing following whole genome amplification or direct testing without whole genome amplification. | Within 2 years (since data analysis is carried out later than sample collection) | Analysis of whether genetic testing on whole genome amplified material is inferior to genetic testing directly on DNA purified from single cells. |
| Specificity and sensitivity of single cell analysis. | Within 2 years | Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of single cell analysis. |
