Non-invasive Prenatal Trisomy test Leon Liang BGI Health Europe A safe prenatal testing for fetal chromosomal aneuploidy
2
Common fetal aneuploidy Trisomy 21 (1/700-750) 80% reach to adulthood Down syndrome Trisomy 18 (1/6000) <10% reach to 1 year old Edwards syndrome Trisomy 13 (1/10000-20000) Most die after birth Patau syndrome Others: Turner syndrome (XO), Klinefelter syndrome (XXY), triple X syndrome (XXX), etc.

Current screening & diagnostic tests * Data present in 5% false positive rate Fergal D, Jacob A, et al. The New England Journal of Medicine, 2005
4
Screening testsDiagnostic tests Serum biochemical test; ultrasound scan Non-invasive Cheap Less accurate Low detection rate High false positive rate Karyotyping (G-banding or FISH) Invasive Expensive Highly accurate High detection rate Low false positive rate
5
What ’ s NIFTY test? Non-Invasive Fetal TrisomY A superior screening test High detection rate and low false positive rate Non-invasive method based on NGS and bioinformatics Analysis of fetal cell free DNA in maternal plasma Evaluate the likelihood of fetal trisomy 21, 18, and 13
6
Features of NIFTY Accurate Safe Early Optimization Simple New detection technology based on NGS; Sensitivity and specificity > 99% No risks of intrauterine infection and miscarriage Fetal trisomy risk can be evaluated as early as 12 gestational week Reduce clinical pressure of unnecessary invasive tests Only 5ml of peripheral blood is needed; easy to handle in clinical practice
7
Scientific discovery Fundamental Features of Cell-Free Fetal DNA Short fragments of 145-200bp, derived from placental trophocytes 970 times greater than fetal cells DNA in maternal blood. Detectable in maternal plasma from the 5th week of gestation. Concentration increase as the gestation age grows Disappears soon after childbirth.

– Validation of the NIFTY in predicting the fetal risk of trisomy 21, 18, and 13 in high risk population by a double blind test – Evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of the NIFTY by comparing to karyotyping result (clinical gold standard) – provide supports for large-scale test in real clinical setting Clinical validation in 3464 samples Study design and aim:

24
NIFTY is not suitable for Detection of balanced rearrangements and low level of mosaicism The pregnant woman is a chromosomal aneuploidy carrier If either of the parent has chromosomal structural abnormalities e.g. duplication, deletion, translocation, etc. If the pregnant woman receives allogenic DNA importation prior to NIFTY e.g. blood transfusion, transplantation, stem cell therapy, etc.
25
Report Genetic testing report Low risk: the fetus is unlikely to be T21, T18, or T13. No special medical procedure is recommended. Routine prenatal checks is suggested. High risk: the fetus is likely to be T21, or T18, or T13. diagnostic procedure such as amniocentesis or cordocentesis is recommended. More than 98% of cases
26
Delay notification QC: Caused by either the experiment or blood sample quality; need to repeat the experiment Data fluctuation: Caused by high data deviation; need to repeat the experiment cfDNA concentration low: Need to repeat the experiment If repeating experiment still cannot solve the problem, blood re- sampling is required.
27
Re-sampling notification QC: Caused by poor blood sample quality cfDNA concentration low Previous NIFTY failed to produce informative result, and gestational age is more than 22 weeks
28
Sample requirement Blood sampling 5ml in EDTA tube Clearly labeled Plasma preparation Immediately extract plasma Stored at 4 ℃, extract in 4 hours
29
Packing for delivery Strong support in case of damage Enough dry ice to keep frozen Sample storage -20 ℃ for a week, -80 ℃ for long term Avoid room temperature and repeated thaw
