BACKGROUND Massively parallel DNA sequencing of cell-free fetal DNA from maternal blood can detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Although existing algorithms focus on the detection of fetal trisomy 21 (T21), these same algorithms have difficulty detecting trisomy 18 (T18). METHODS Blood samples were collected from 1014 patients at 13 US clinic locations before they underwent an invasive prenatal procedure. All samples were processed to plasma, and the DNA extracted from 119 samples underwent massively parallel DNA sequencing. Fifty-three sequenced samples came from women with an abnormal fetal karyotype. To minimize the intra- and interrun sequencing variation, we developed an optimized algorithm by using normalized chromosome values (NCVs) from the sequencing data on a training set of 71 samples with 26 abnormal karyotypes. The classification process was then evaluated on an independent test set of 48 samples with 27 abnormal karyotypes. RESULTS Mapped sites for chromosomes of interest in the sequencing data from the training set were normalized individually by calculating the ratio of the number of sites on the specified chromosome to the number of sites observed on an optimized normalizing chromosome (or chromosome set). Threshold values for trisomy or sex chromosome classification were then established for all chromosomes of interest, and a classification schema was defined. Sequencing of the independent test set led to 100% correct classification of T21 (13 of 13) and T18 (8 of 8) samples. Other chromosomal abnormalities were also identified. CONCLUSION Massively parallel sequencing is capable of detecting multiple fetal chromosomal abnormalities from maternal plasma when an optimized algorithm is used.

Abstract Background: To describe the clinical practice and performance of cell-free DNA sequencing-based noninvasive prenatal testing as a screening method for detecting trisomy 21, 18, and 13 (T21, T18, and T13, respectively), as well as sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA), in a general Italian pregnancy population.Methods: The AMES-accredited laboratory offers noninvasive prenatal testing in maternal blood as a clinical screening test for foetal T21, T18, T13 and SCA. Samples were sequenced on a NextSeq 550 (Illumina) using the VeriSeq NIPT Solution v1 assay.Results: A retrospective analysis was performed on a cohort of 36456 consecutive maternal blood samples, including 35650 singleton pregnancies, 800 twin pregnancies, and 6 triplet pregnancies, which were tested between April 2017 and September 2019. The cohort included 46% elevated-risk and 54% low-risk patients. Genetic and/or clinical outcomes were available in 36000 cases (98.7%). In the overall cohort, 356 (1%) results were indicative of classic trisomy: 254 T21, 69 T18, and 33 T13. In addition, 145 results (0.4%) were indicative of SCA. Of the combined 501 screen-positive cases, 484 had confirmatory diagnostic testing results available: 99.2% (247/249) of T21 cases, 91.2% (62/68) of T18 cases, 84.4% (27/32) of T13 cases, and 86.7% (117/135) of SCA cases were confirmed. Follow-up data were available for 98.8% of the 35955 cases reported as unaffected by trisomy or SCA. No false negative cases were reported. The sensitivity of NIPT was 100.00% for T21 (95% Cl 98.47-100.0), T18 (95% Cl 94.17-100.0), T13 (95% Cl 87.54-100.0) and SCA (95% Cl 96.62-100.0). The specificities were 99.99% (95% Cl 99.98-100.0), 99.98% (95% Cl 99.96-100.0), 99.99% (95% Cl 99.97-100.0), and 99.95% (95% Cl 99.92-99.97) for T21, T18, T13, and SCA, respectively.Conclusion: This retrospective analysis of a large cohort of consecutive patients who had whole-genome sequencing-based NIPT for classic trisomies and SCA showed excellent detection rates and low false positive rates.

Key Points Tumor neoantigens are a promising class of immunogens based on exquisite tumor specificity and the lack of central tolerance against them. Massively parallel DNA sequencing with class I prediction enables systematic identification of tumor neoepitopes (including from CLL).
