About the Test
The MaterniT® 21 PLUS laboratory-developed test (LDT) analyzes circulating cell-free DNA from a maternal blood sample. The test is indicated for use in pregnant women with increased risk for fetal
chromosomal aneuploidy. Validation data on twin pregnancies is limited and the ability of this test to detect aneuploidy in a triplet pregnancy has not yet been validated.
Test Method
Circulating cell-free DNA was purified from the plasma component of maternal blood. The extracted DNA was then converted into a genomic DNA library for aneuploidy analysis of chromosomes 21, 18, and 13 via
next generation sequencing.[1] Optional findings based on the test order include sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA)[2], and enhanced sequencing series (ESS)[3], which will only be reported on as an additional
finding when an abnormality is detected. SCA testing includes information on X and Y representation, while ESS testing includes deletions in selected regions (22q, 15q, 11q, 8q, 5p, 4p, 1p) and trisomy of
chromosomes 16 and 22.
Performance
The performance characteristics of the MaterniT® 21 PLUS laboratory-developed test (LDT) have been determined in a clinical validation study with pregnant women at increased risk for fetal chromosomal
aneuploidy.[1],[2],[3],[4]
Y-Chromosome (Fetal Sex) Accuracy: 99.4%

* As reported in ISCA database nstd37 [http://dbsearch.clinicalgenome.org/search/ ]
** Sensitivity estimated across the observed size distribution of each syndrome [per ISCA database nstd37] and across the range of fetal fractions observed in routine clinical NIPT. Actual sensitivity can also be
influenced by other factors such as the size of the event, total sequence counts, amplification bias, or sequence bias.
Limitations of the Test
While the results of these tests are highly accurate, discordant results, including inaccurate fetal sex prediction, may occur due to placental, maternal, or fetal mosaicism or neoplasm; vanishing twin; prior maternal
organ transplant; or other causes. Sex chromosomal aneuploidies are not reportable for known multiple gestations. These tests are screening tests and not diagnostic; they do not replace the accuracy and precision
of prenatal diagnosis with CVS or amniocentesis. A patient with a positive test result should be referred for genetic counseling and offered invasive prenatal diagnosis for confirmation of test results.[5] A negative
result does not ensure an unaffected pregnancy nor does it exclude the possibility of other chromosomal abnormalities or birth defects which are not a part of these tests. An uninformative result may be reported, the
causes of which may include, but are not limited to, insufficient sequencing coverage, noise or artifacts in the region, amplification or sequencing bias, or insufficient fetal fraction. These tests are not intended to
identify pregnancies at risk for neural tube defects or ventral wall defects. Testing for whole chromosome abnormalities (including sex chromosomes) and for subchromosomal abnormalities could lead to the potential
discovery of both fetal and maternal genomic abnormalities that could have major, minor, or no, clinical significance. Evaluating the significance of a positive or a non-reportable result may involve both invasive testing
and additional studies on the mother. Such investigations may lead to a diagnosis of maternal chromosomal or subchromosomal abnormalities, which on occasion may be associated with benign or malignant
maternal neoplasms. These tests may not accurately identify fetal triploidy, balanced rearrangements, or the precise location of subchromosomal duplications or deletions; these may be detected by prenatal diagnosis
with CVS or amniocentesis. The ability to report results may be impacted by maternal BMI, maternal weight, maternal systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and/or by certain pharmaceutical agents such as low
molecular weight heparin (for example: Lovenox
®, Xaparin®, Clexane® and Fragmin®). The results of this testing, including the benefits and limitations, should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Pregnancy management decisions, including termination of the pregnancy, should not be based on the results of these tests alone. The healthcare provider is responsible for the use of this information in the
management of their patient.
