NIPS, noninvasive prenatal screening; N, invasive diagnosis and clinical diagnosis; TP, true positive; FP, false positive; UC, refused to diagnosis; FN, false negative; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; FPR, false positive rate; FNR, false negative rate; SPR, screen-positive rate; Mos, mosaic. 1 A total of 83,671 pregnancies, included 1160 screening positive cases and 82,511 negative cases with follow-up data. 2 CNVs, copy number variants (≥5 Mb), these CNVs included fragments sizes of chromosome deletion and duplication ranged from 6 to 32.5 Mb and 5.5 to 99 Mb, respectively (Table A2). 3 RATs, rare autosomal aneuploidies (chrN+/-), including, increased dosage chromosomes (most likely trisomies, chrN+), decreased dosage chromosomes (most likely monosomies, chrN-) and multiple chromosomal abnormalities (Multis, more than two chromosomal abnormalities) (Table A2 and Table A3). Almost all the Multis were retested again. 4 A total of 17 false negative cases were all confirmed by SNP microarray.
