dc.description.abstractLi & Li have highlighted an important message from our recent publication: that an isolated increased nuchal translucency (NT) measurement does not perform well as standalone screening test for atypical chromosome conditions. We did not claim otherwise in our 29 paper. Indeed, we intentionally presented outcomes for more than 80,000 fetuses with NT < 3.0mm in order to illustrate that the majority of atypical chromosome conditions occur in fetuses with a “normal” NT. It is undisputed that structural abnormalities are the most important contributor to the diagnosis of atypical chromosome conditions, and we strongly support the use of the 12-13 week early anatomy scan in women who elect to have noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) as a first tier screening test.
