How accurate is MaterniT21 plus?

100% SAFETY | 99.1% ACCURACY. MaterniT21 PLUS is the first commercialized NIPT Test in the World, has been tested on thousands of women, and extracts the most reliable results.

How common are false positive NIPT tests?

Numerous studies have shown sensitivity rates for NIPT was approximately 99% with false positive rates below 1% and the positive predictive value is limited to 40% to 90%. The positive predictive values of NIPT for autosomes and sex chromosomes should be paid attention to.

What are the chances of a false positive Down syndrome test?

Several large studies have confirmed that these cell-free DNA, or cfDNA, tests have a detection rate of 99 percent for Down syndrome, with a false-positive rate of as low as 0.1 percent.

How often are NIPT tests wrong?

What is the general accuracy of NIPT? The screening has a detection rate of above 99 percent for the three most common chromosome abnormalities, trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13. The false-positive rate is well under 1 percent.

Can NIPT be wrong for Turner syndrome?

NIPT can also be used to detect other fetal genetic diseases, such as fetal sex chromosome aneuploidy (7). In our study, the total positive predictive value (PPV) of NIPT was 54.54%, which was 29.41% for Turner syndrome, 77.78% for 47,XXY, and 100% for 47,XXX and 47,XYY (7).

What happens if you test positive for Down syndrome?

If the test is screen positive, you will be offered a diagnostic test, usually chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or possibly an amniocentesis. The diagnostic test will determine whether or not the pregnancy is actually affected. CVS is offered early in pregnancy (usually between 10 and 13 weeks).

How often is prenatal screening wrong?

And indeed, studies have found the tests to be more accurate than standard screening. But positive results can be wrong 50 percent or more of the time.

Can amniocentesis results be wrong?

Amniocentesis is estimated to give a definitive result in 98 to 99 out of every 100 women having the test. But it cannot test for every condition and, in a small number of cases, it’s not possible to get a conclusive result. Many women who have amniocentesis will have a “normal” result.

What does a positive MaterniT21 test mean?

The MaterniT21 PLUS test reports positive or negative results for trisomy 21, 18, and 13. For other fetal chromosomal abnormalities, we report it as an Additional Finding. This gives you and your health care provider the information and confidence you need to plan effectively.

What is MaterniT21 PLUS?

MaterniT21 PLUS is the first commercialized NIPT Test in the World, has been tested on thousands of women, and extracts the most reliable results. To date, the MaterniT21 PLUS laboratory-developed test is the most technologically advanced noninvasive prenatal test of its kind commercially available for detecting fetal chromosomal abnormalities.

What is the success rate of MaterniT21?

When counseling my patients, I’m confident in saying that MaterniT21 has 2.14% “positive” results, much like the test it will eventually replace, the amniocentesis. The other tests have far more issues with off-base calls, like Verifi with almost 8% of the results “aneuploidy detected” or “aneuploidy suspected”, leading to more invasive screening.

Does a positive maternit 21 Test mean my Baby has Down’s syndrome?

For women under 30, even if they get a positive result from the MaterniT 21 test, it’s still more likely that the fetus does not have Down’s syndrome. Only for women over 40 does the test provide reasonably conclusive results.
