Conventional prenatal diagnosis focuses mainly on the three autosomes, but it has been reported that problems with the sex chromosomes can occur even in the absence of abnormalities in these chromosomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is estimated that approximately 0.56% (approximately 1 in 200) of chorionic villus biopsies and 0.05% (approximately 1 in 2000) of amniotic fluid tests are positive. This could have been missed by conventional methods, and total chromosome aneuploidy testing is an important means of reducing this uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the Difference Between Monosomy and Trisomy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When one of the paired chromosomes becomes an extra, making three, it is called trisomy.
