The test uses cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis to identify risk for chromosomal abnormalities, which can then be more fully investigated using other tests. Much of previous research focused on cfDNA has assessed autosomal aneuploidies, but few studies have specifically focused on SCAs. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the accuracy of cfDNA testing in identifying SCAs in singleton pregnancies. Studies were identified by keywords associated with cfDNA, SCA, and noninvasive prenatal testing, and studies were included based on relevance. Inclusion criteria were limited to singleton pregnancies that underwent cfDNA testing with confirmation by diagnostic genetic testing between January 1, 2010 and December 1, 2021. A total of 21 articles were selected for the final meta-analysis. All included studies reported results for monosomy X (45,X), representing nearly 13,000 tests with 254 confirmed positive results, 133 false-positives, and 18 false-negatives. Estimated sensitivity based on this sample was 98.8%, with specificity of 99.4%. Positive and negative predictive values were 14.5% and 100%, respectively. Of the 21 included studies, 16 also reported results for Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY), representing just over 11,000 tests with 62 confirmed positive results, 10 false-positives, and 11 false-negatives. Estimated sensitivity was 100% and specificity was 100%, with positive predictive value of 97.7% and negative predictive value of 100%. Thirteen of 21 studies included reported results for triple X syndrome (47,XXX), representing roughly 10,000 tests with 38 confirmed positive results, 18 false-positives, and 1 false-negative. This showed an estimated sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 99.9%, with positive predictive value of 61.6% and negative predictive value of 100%. Finally, 9 of the studies included in this meta-analysis reported results for Jacobs syndrome (47,XYY), representing approximately 8500 tests with 22 confirmed positive results, 2 false-positives, and no false-negatives. This led to an estimated sensitivity and specificity of 100%, with positive and negative predictive values also 100%. These results provide evidence that cfDNA testing is effective in identification of SCAs in pregnancies at high risk. This particular population limits the generalizability of the findings but adds to the literature surrounding the effectiveness and accuracy of this method. The analysis used strict criteria to define the studies that were included, yet still included a large sample of tests (12,000), which adds to the statistical and practical significance of the analysis. Generalizing the findings of this study is difficult based on both the fact that the sample did not include low-risk individuals and that positive predictive values varied greatly wit","PeriodicalId":19409,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136106145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The leading cause of infant mortality is congenital malformation or chromosomal abnormality, which cause roughly 20% of infant deaths, followed by other causes such as pregnancy complications, preterm birth or low birth weight, and sudden infant death syndrome. Improvements in treatments for certain conditions such as pregnancy complications or prematurity have previously resulted in a reduction in mortality due to these causes. Although the same may be true of congenital malformations or chromosomal abnormalities, the relationship between these factors and infant mortality has not been closely examined. Previous studies have largely been retrospective in nature and varied greatly among method and records used, perpetuating inaccuracies and imprecision. This study aimed to clarify and add to previous literature by examining the relationship between single-locus genetic disease (Mendelian genetic disease) and overall infant mortality. This study applied diagnostic whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to infants in intensive care to diagnose diseases of unknown etiology in a single hospital system between 2015 and 2020. The study was retrospective and included review of medical records and death certificates, as well as results from WGS. Where possible, WGS information was obtained on living infants and their parents, and where that was not possible, it was obtained postmortem. Death certificates and causes of death were also examined and compared with WGS results. In the final sample, 112 infants who died underwent WGS either premortem or postmortem. WGS identified genetic diseases in 46 (41%) of these infants. Of the genetic diseases identified, 83% had previous evidence supporting an association with childhood mortality, and evidence was gathered from previous literature that could improve outcomes for 30%. Death certificate comparisons showed that of 45 infants where WGS showed underlying genetic disease, 62% were not reported on the certificate or attributed to the cause of death. In addition to the 112 infants who died, the study population included 434 infants who survived and also had WGS performed. No significant differences were found between the groups in sex, race, or ethnicity. Types of genetic disease varied between infants who died and those who survived, with only 4% being found in both. Certain diseases were more likely to occur in infants who survived, and others were more likely to occur in infants who died. Specific etiology had some prognostic value, positively predicting either death or survival. These results indicate that first, after examination of WGS in comparison with death certificates, genetic diseases are chronically underreported. In addition, WGS showed that etiology of leading causes of infant mortality could be fundamentally different than previously thought.
