OBJECTIVE: Prenatal chorionicity assessment relies on ultrasound, which can be confounded by many factors. Noninvasive assessment of zygosity is possible using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based cell-free DNA testing. Our objective was to determine the relationship between provider-reported chorionicity and SNP-cfDNA assignment of twin zygosity.
METHODS: All twin pregnancy blood samples received by a reference laboratory between September 27, 2017 and September 8, 2021 were included. Chorionicity assignment was requested on the requisition, recorded as; monochorionic (MC), dichorionic, or "don't know". SNP-cfDNA zygosity results, monozygotic (MZ) or dizygotic (DZ), were correlated with chorionicity assignment.
RESULTS: 59,471 twin samples (median gestational age = 12.0 weeks at draw) were received and analyzed; 55,344 (93.1%) received zygosity assignment. SNP-cfDNA reported 16,673 (30.1%) MZ and 38,671 (69.9%) as DZ. Provider-reported chorionicity was compared to the zygosity assignment for each case. Of 6283 provider-reported MC twins, 318 (5.1%) were reported as DZ using SNP-cfDNA.
CONCLUSION(S): One in 20 suspected MC twin pregnancies were reported as DZ using SNP-cfDNA. Approximately 30% of 55,344 twin pregnancies were found to be MZ, including cases where chorionicity was unknown. SNP-cfDNA zygosity assessment is a useful adjunct assessment for twin pregnancies, particularly those reported as MC or without determined chorionicity.
