Implications |
|
45,X: Turner syndrome, MPSS: massively parallel shotgun sequencing, NA: not applicable, TMPS: targeted massively parallel sequencing.
aUnaffected pregnancies: we included patients with any other aneuploidy than the one under analysis with all euploid cases as "unaffected" pregnancies.
bThe median prevalence and range were calculated by using all prospective or retrospective studies for each category considered.
cMissed cases per 100,000 tested. FN: false negatives.
dFalse positives per 100,000 tested. A false positive result may lead to unnecessary invasive tests depending on choices by the pregnant woman.
