Prenatal Screening in 2017—The DOs and the DON’Ts

Joseph R. Biggio, MDUniversity of Alabama at BirminghamMaternal Fetal Medicine and Genetics

Disclosures

• No financial conflicts to report

Learning Objectives

• Discuss differences between cfDNA screening and conventional screening

• Review performance and limitations of cfDNAscreening compared to conventional screening for common aneuploidies and all chromosome abnormalities

• Identify key components of informed consent as well as pre-‐ and post-‐test counseling

ACOG Practice Bulletin #163

• Maternal age should not be sole factor in offering diagnostic test• Aneuploidy screening or diagnostic testing should be offered to all women early in pregnancy

Integrated Screening

• A combination of 1st and 2nd trimester screening tests• 11-‐13 weeks: NT, PAPP-‐A• 15-‐17 weeks: AFP, hCG, estriol, & inhibin

• Final result provided once Quad screen completed

• All testing combined into a SINGLE result

Using cf-DNA screening in your practiceThe DOs and the DON’Ts

The DOs

1. Provide patients with appropriate pre-‐test and post-‐test counseling

2. Refer patients who receive a high-‐risk result for counseling and possible diagnostic testing

3. Order AFP only, NOT a QUAD, in the second trimester for assessment of NTD risk in patients who have had cf-‐DNA screening

4. Offer cf-‐DNA to high risk groups as an option for screening

The DON’Ts1. Don’t tell patients that cf-‐DNA will detect all chromosome

abnormalities and that their fetus is normal if the result is normal

2. Don’t order cf-‐DNA screening in low-‐risk groups just so the patient can finder out gender earlier

3. Don’t order microdeletion panels as part of cf-‐DNA screening

4. Don’t ignore ’No call’ or ‘equivocal’ results; refer patients for counseling and further evaluation

5. Don’t use cf-‐DNA as a replacement for diagnostic testing, especially in the setting of U/S abnormalities

6. Don’t order a targeted U/S in AMA patients if the patient has a low-‐risk cf-‐DNA result and there are no other indications for scan.

DO order AFP only, NOT a QUAD, in the second trimester for assessment of NTD risk in patients who have had cf-‐DNA screening

Origins of Maternal Serum Screening

• Neural tube defects–1970s elevated AFP in amniotic fluidàserum• Brock et al, 1973; Wald et al, 1974

• Aneuploidy screening a result of serendipity and ingenuity•Merkatz et al, 1984

AFP• Elevated– Disruption of fetal-‐maternal-‐placental barrier– Placental vascular damage– Impaired integrity of fetal skin

• Disorders– Neural tube defects– Ventral wall defects– Dermatologic disorders – Congenital nephrosis

AFP for NTD and VWD

• Unclear incremental benefit with modern US for NTD detection–Questionable need in severe lesions–Potential role for distal or difficult to visualize lesions• 9 out of 12 missed cases of NTD, AFP not done—Racusin et al, Am J Perinatol, 2015

• US identifies most VWD

DO offer cf-DNA to high risk groups as an option for screening

DON’T order cf-DNA screening in low-risk groups just so the patient can finder out gender earlier

WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE POPULATION FOR CELL-FREE DNA TESTING?

• Appropriate Populations:• AMA• Prior affected• Abnormal screen • Ultrasound abnormality• Robertsonian translocation involving 13 or 21

• Pre- and post-test counseling• Need more information for multiples

• Detect 10 aneuploid • 9 false positive

PPV=10/19=53%

• Prevalence 1 in 100–100 will have aneuploid fetus

• Detect 99 aneuploid• 9 false positive

DON’T ignore ’No call’ or ‘equivocal’ results; refer patients for counseling and further evaluation

“No call” results (screening failure)

• Not reported, indeterminate, or uninterpretable results

• Occurs in 1-‐8% of patients• 50-‐60% of repeat screens will provide a result

No result significance

• Uninterpretable results associated with• Aneuploidy• Vanishing twin• Maternal malignancy• Mosaicism• Low fetal fraction

• Increased risk of aneuploidy• 20-‐25% prevalence

DON’T tell patients that cf-‐DNA will detect all chromosome abnormalities and that their fetus is normal if the result is normal

DON’T use cf-‐DNA as a replacement for diagnostic testing, especially in the setting of U/S abnormalities

Current cf-‐DNA platforms: Conditions routinely screened for

• Down syndrome• Trisomy 18 (Edward syndrome)• Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)• Sex chromosome aneuploidy (most labs)• Turner syndrome• Klinefelter syndrome• XXX• XYY

Limitations of cf-‐DNA for detection of chromosome abnormalities

• Proportion of chromosome abnormalities due to common trisomies (13,18, 21) depends on population risk, especially maternal age• Ranges from 60-‐75%

• Cannot differentiate mode of inheritance and recurrence risk• Non-‐disjunction trisomy• Translocation• Mosaic

Impact of the “others”

DON’T use cf-‐DNA as a replacement for diagnostic testing, especially in the setting of U/S abnormalities

DON’T order microdeletion panels as part of cf-‐DNA screening

What if cfDNA screens for “others”?• Some labs offer screening for: • Triploidy• Trisomy 16 • Trisomy 22• Trisomy 9• Vanishing twin• Specific microdeletion syndromes

• 22q, 1p36, 4p, 5p, 8q, 11q, 15q

• Genome-‐wide screening for imbalances >5-‐7 Mb

Microdeletion screeningRoutine screening by cfDNA not recommended

• Population-‐based studies unavailable• Majority do not show ultrasound findings• Are not related to maternal age• Are rare• Low PPV

DO Provide patients with appropriate pre-test and post-test counseling

Develop standard approach to counseling

• Pre-‐test counseling for all patients is imperative

• Can be challenging due to •Time constraints•Rapid advances •Patients’ focus on fetal sex

Important Counseling Topics

• Reasons why patients would choose to accept screening

• To help them, and healthcare providers, prepare for the birth of a child with special needs

• Because they might choose not to continue a pregnancy with a diagnosed condition

• Reasons why patients would decline screening

• They do not want this information during pregnancy and would not do anything differently

• They feel the possibility of abnormal results (whether true or false positive) would ruin the experience of pregnancy

Informed consentPatients need to know:• They can decline all screening or diagnostic testing for aneuploidy

• cfDNA is a screening test • What conditions are (and are not) being screened for• What the accuracy is re: detection rate, false positive rate

• The possibility of a “no call” result• Their options if results indicate an increased risk or are “no call”

Post-‐test counseling

• Normal results:• Should be disclosed by a medical professional designated to review this information

• “Low risk”, not “no risk”• Patients still have option to have diagnostic testing

• Abnormal results:• Ideally should be disclosed by the ordering provider

• Not diagnostic• Refer to genetic counseling or MFM specialist with expertise in this area for further evaluation

Post-test counseling


10

• “No call” results:• Consider repeat testing depending on GA• Refer for genetic counseling and further evaluation

• Offer comprehensive ultrasound evaluation and diagnostic testing because of an increased risk of aneuploidy

Post-test counseling 2015 ACOG/SMFM Committee Opinion 640: Cell-‐free DNA screening for fetal aneuploidy

• Conventional screening methods remain the most appropriate choice for first-‐line screening for most women in the general obstetric population due to • Limited data on cost-‐effectiveness in low-‐risk population

• Option for any women who desires after counseling on risks, benefits and limitations

Summary

• Cf-‐DNA screening for aneuploidy can provide high detection rates and low false positive rates for common chromosome abnormalities

• Imperative to remember that these are still screening tests

• Patients need appropriate pre-‐ and post-‐test counseling

• Current cf-‐DNA screening is targeted to specific aneuploidies and does not identify 15-‐20% of karyotype abnormalities

Summary

• Microarray abnormalities may represent nearly 50% of the undetected abnormalities, or 25% of the total abnormalities, especially in the setting of an anomaly

• Following an abnormal conventional screening result, there remains a 2-‐3% residual risk of a chromosome abnormality even with a normal cf-‐DNA result

Question to ponder:

• Why are we doing prenatal screening?• To identify pregnancies at risk for a finite number of well-‐defined conditions

OR• To identify pregnancies at increased risk for any condition associated with adverse perinatal and childhood outcomes
