Discordant NIPT result in a viable trisomy‐21 pregnancy due to prolonged contribution to cfDNA by a demised trisomy‐14 cotwin

One of the confounders in noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is the vanishing twin phenomenon. Prolonged contribution to the maternal Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) pool by cytotrophoblasts representing a demised, aneuploid cotwin may lead to a false‐positive outcome for a normal, viable twin.
