Cell-based noninvasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT) detects pathogenic copy number variations

In two cases, cell-based noninvasive prenatal testing (cb- NIPT) detected copy number variations (CNVs): a 7 Mb de- letion of 15q11q13 covering the Prader-Willi region and a 4.6 Mb deletion at 3p26.3p26.1. This may potentially be an improved noninvasive alternative for the detection of smaller CNVs. Denmark has a tax-financed combined first trimester screening program …
