Maternal carrier screening with single-gene NIPS provides accurate fetal risk assessments for recessive conditions

Jennifer Hoskovec et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of carrier screening using reflex single-gene noninvasive prenatal screening (sgNIPS) for cystic fibrosis, hemoglobinopathies, and spinal muscular atrophy, which does not require paternal carrier screening. The results showed that sgNIPS provided accurate fetal risk assessment and could be used for prenatal counseling and pregnancy management. The study highlights the importance of carrier screening during pregnancy and the potential benefits of using sgNIPS.

Aarti Ramdaney et al.

Summary: The aim of carrier screening is to identify prospective parents at risk of having a pregnancy affected with an autosomal recessive or X-linked disorder. Expanded carrier screening (ECS) is gaining popularity in the general population, but its impact on clients and providers is not well understood.

Valerie Kantor et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the results of commercial SNP-based NIPT tests in 18,984 twin pregnancies and found that the performance of SNP-based NIPT was comparable to previous studies, allowing for zygosity-based PPV assessment.

Leland E. Hull et al.

Summary: This cross-sectional study examined the factors associated with the timing of reproductive carrier screening and found that multilevel factors, including clinician specialty, clinic location, and hospital affiliation, were associated with the timing of screening. The study highlights the importance of engaging specific medical specialties to increase access to preconception screening.

Reproductive male partner testing when the female is identified to be a genetic disease carrier

Laurie Simone et al.

Summary: Although the male testing uptake rate was relatively high at 77%, a significant barrier was identified in female patients not following up on their own carrier screening results. The most reported reason for declining testing among male partners was the belief that it would not impact pregnancy management. A carrier couple rate of 8.3% was identified among partners tested.

Evaluating the efficacy of three carrier screening workflows designed to identify at-risk carrier couples

Aishwarya Arjunan et al.

Summary: The tandem reflex strategy simplifies a potentially complex clinical scenario by providing a mechanism to maximize partner compliance and the detection of at-risk couples, while minimizing workflow burden and unnecessary testing. It is more efficacious than both sequential and tandem screening strategies.

Post-ACA, More Than One-Third Of Women With Prenatal Medicaid Remained Uninsured Before Or After Pregnancy

Emily M. Johnston et al.

Summary: The study found that among new mothers with Medicaid-covered prenatal care, approximately one-quarter were uninsured before pregnancy, around one-fifth became uninsured two to six months postpartum, and 34.5% were uninsured in either period. Higher rates of perinatal uninsurance were observed in nonexpansion states and among Hispanic women who completed the survey in Spanish.
