Abstract

Background: Over 60% of single-gene diseases in newborns are autosomal dominant variants. Noninvasive prenatal testing for monogenic conditions (NIPT-SGG) is cost-effective and timesaving, but not widely applied. This study introduces and validates NIPT-SGG in detecting 25 monogenic conditions. Methods: NIPT-SGG with a 30-gene panel applied next-generation sequencing and trio assays to confirm de novo variants. Diagnostic tests confirmed NIPT-detected cases. Results: Among 93 pregnancies with ultrasound findings, 11 (11.8%) fetuses were screened and diagnosed with monogenic diseases, mostly with Noonan syndrome. NIPT-SGG determined >99.99% of actual positive and negative cases, confirmed by diagnostic tests. No false-negatives or false-positives were reported. Conclusion: NIPT-SGG effectively identifies the fetuses affected with monogenic diseases, which is a promisingly safe and timely antenatal screening option for high-risk pregnancies.
