The aims of this longitudinal study were to investigate the evolution and frequency of both invasive prenatal diagnostic testing, using amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and the detection of SCA in cfDNA samples from a large unselected cohort in Northern Italy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of genetic testing from CVS and amniotic fluid samples received from public and private centers in Italy from 1995 to 2021 were collected. Chromosomal analysis was performed by routine Q\u2010banding karyotype. Regression analyses and descriptive statistics were used to determine population data trends regarding the frequency of prenatal diagnostic testing and the identification of SCA, and these were compared with the changes in indication for prenatal diagnostic tests and available screening options.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over a period of 27\u2009years, there were 13\u2009939\u2009526 recorded births and 231\u2009227 invasive procedures were performed, resulting in the prenatal diagnosis of 933 SCAs. After the commercial introduction of cfDNA use in 2015, the frequency of invasive procedures decreased significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03), while the frequency of prenatal SCA detection increased significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007). Between 2016 and 2021, a high\u2010risk cfDNA result was the indication for 31.4% of detected sex chromosome trisomies, second only to advanced maternal age.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings suggest that the inclusion of SCA in prenatal cfDNA screening tests can increase the prenatal diagnosis of affected individuals. As the benefits of early ascertainment are increasingly recognized, it is essential that healthcare providers are equipped with comprehensive and evidence\u2010based information regarding the associated phenotypic differences and the availability of targeted effective interventions to improve neurodevelopmental and health outcomes for affected individuals. \u00a9 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.26201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,17]],"date-time":"2023-03-17T10:04:20Z","timestamp":1679047460000},"page":"266-272","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Incidence of sex chromosome aneuploidy in a prenatal population: 27\u2010year longitudinal study in Northern Italy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"C.
