Objective: To study patient choice regarding testing for sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) and the performance of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening for SCA. Methods: Patient choice regarding screening for SCA and factors influencing this choice were evaluated in a single center. In a subsequent two-center study, cases that screened positive for SCA were analyzed to determine the positive predictive value (PPV) for each SCA. Results: In all, 1,957 (61.9%) of the 3,162 patients undergoing cfDNA testing opted for SCA screening. Regression analysis demonstrated that independent predictors of a patient's decision for SCA were earlier gestational age, spontaneous conception, and cfDNA chosen as a primary method of screening. A total of 161 cases screened positive for SCA and follow-up data were available for 118 (73.3%). Forty-six of the 61 cases of 45,X were false-positive results and 15 were concordant with the fetal karyotype (PPV = 24.6%). Seventeen of the 22 cases of 47,XXX were false positive and 5 concordant (PPV = 22.7%). Eleven of the 30 cases of 47,XXY were false positive and 19 concordant (PPV = 63.3%). All 5 cases of 47,XYY were correctly identified, thus yielding a PPV of 100%. Conclusion: More than half of the patients undergoing cfDNA aneuploidy screening also opted for SCA testing, but they were less likely to do so in the presence of an increased risk of trisomy. SCAs involving the X chromosome had a lower PPV than those involving the Y chromosome. (C) 2017 S. Karger AG, Basel
