Obstetricians offer prenatal screening for most common chromosomal abnormalities to all pregnant women including those that had in vitro fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic screening/diagnosis (PGS/D). We propose that free fetal DNA in maternal circulation together with the second trimester maternal serum alfa feto protein (MSAFP) and ultrasound imaging is the best prenatal screening test for chromosomal abnormalities and congenital anomalies in IVF-PGD/S patients because risk estimations from all other prenatal screening algorithms for chromosomal abnormalities depend heavily on maternal age which is irrelevant in PGS/D patients.
产科医生为所有孕妇,包括接受体外受精(IVF)和植入前基因筛查/诊断(PGS/D)的孕妇,提供针对最常见染色体异常的产前筛查。我们认为,母体循环中的游离胎儿DNA,连同孕中期母体血清甲胎蛋白(MSAFP)和超声成像,是IVF-PGD/S患者染色体异常和先天性异常的最佳产前筛查测试,因为所有其他染色体异常产前筛查算法的风险评估严重依赖于孕妇年龄,而这在PGS/D患者中并不相关。
