Does low fetal fraction mean something is wrong?
When you are told there is a low fetal fraction, it does NOT mean we found a problem with the baby; it just means that the amount of fetal DNA in that sample is too low for the test to get accurate results. No NIPT test is accurate below 3.5%.
How accurate is Progenity test?
Proven to identify affected fetuses. Sensitivity is >99% for the core trisomies and fetal sex aneuploidies, meaning false negatives are very rare. Proven to rule-out unaffected fetuses. Specificity is >99% for the core trisomies and fetal sex aneuploidies, meaning false positives are very rare.
