Together, trisomies 13, 18, and 21 (Patau’s, Edwards and Down syndrome) and sex chromosome aneusomies account for 57% of all abnormalities identified at the time of amniocentesis, and 85-90% of clinically significant chromosomal abnormalities detected in live-born infants. Review of AneuVysion testing of over 29,000 amniotic fluid samples has found that the test is 99.9% specific with 99.6% sensitivity for the detection of trisomies 13, 18, 21, Klinefelter and Turner syndrome, and aneusomies of X and Y.
