The Effect of Self-Reported Race on Noninvasive Prenatal Screening Test Characteristics.
Objective: Low fetal fraction (FF) on cell-free DNA (cfDNA)-based noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) is a common etiology for indeterminate results. As maternal Black race is implicated as a risk factor for low FF and more indeterminate results, we sought to evaluate this association.
Study design: This was a single-institution, retrospective cohort study of cfDNA-based NIPS performed between May 2017 and May 2022 with complete clinical data abstraction. We compared FF, indeterminate rates, and total cfDNA concentration among self-reported Black, White, and Other groups from NIPS results from 2017 to 2022 with full clinical data abstraction. Using linear regression and interaction testing, we evaluated associations between self-reported race, FF, indeterminate rate, and total cfDNA concentration.
Results: In total, 1,591 participants met the inclusion criteria; 70.8% (n = 1,126) self-identified as White, 6.9% (n = 110) as Black, and 22.3% (n = 355) self-identified with another race. Mean FF was not different between the White, Black, or Other groups (11.8 vs. 11.2 vs. 11.7%, respectively, p = 0.52). This remained true after adjusting for body mass index (BMI), gestational age (GA) at draw, and fetal sex (all p > 0.17). Interaction testing for FF and total cfDNA by race with BMI, GA at draw, and fetal sex demonstrated no effect modification.
Conclusion: In our population, maternal self-identified race, particularly Black race, does not affect FF. Biological plausibility for race-based differences on clinical tests requires ongoing thoughtful consideration.
Key points: · NIPS is widely used to screen for fetal aneuploidy.. · FF is an important test metric, and low FF is associated with adverse outcomes, like aneuploidy.. · In existing studies, Black race is implicated as a risk factor for lower FF.. · Our study found no differences in FF between groups by self-reported race.. · Biological plausibility for race-based differences on clinical tests requires ongoing consideration..
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
