II. Supplementary information

• The NIPS test screens a maternal blood sample for chromosome aneuploidy in placental DNA using the following methodology:
(1) Extraction of cell-free placental DNA from the maternal blood sample
(2) High throughput sequencing of the extracted cell-free placental DNA
(3) Calculation of molecular mass of placental DNA in all chromosomes
• The method is intended for use in pregnant women who are at least 10+0 weeks pregnant. The method is suitable for both
singleton and twin pregnancies. The accuracy may be slightly lower in twin pregnancies due to multiple sources of fetal DNA.
• Based on the scope, the NIPS test can detect the following:
(1) Whole Genome - 23 pairs of human chromosomes
(2) Sex chromosomal aneuploidies: XO, XXX, XXY/XYY
• The test is capable of genome-wide aneuploidy detection over the whole fetal genome and gives the results for 23 pairs of
chromosomes. This test confers an accuracy of up to 99% on the detection of fetal aneuploidy for chromosomes 13, 18 and
21. In a study of over 2000 samples, 6 samples were determined to be at high-risk of having an autosomal aneuploidy other
than 13, 18 and 21. This is a prevalence rate of 0.3%, which is consistent with prevalence in published studies.
Results are indicated for screening, NOT diagnosis – (results should be reviewed and discussed with your healthcare provider)

 About Sage™ prenatal screen
The Sage™ prenatal screen is a new advanced non-invasive prenatal screening solution using the latest developments in DNA
technology to detect placental DNA in maternal blood. Sage™ offers a menu-based chromosome analysis to estimate the risk
of a fetus having Down’s syndrome and other genetic disorders. Enabling pregnant women and their families fast, safe and
reliable results and reducing the need for invasive tests and the associated risks, stress and anxiety. Sage™ is indicated for use
in pregnant women who are at least 10 weeks pregnant. Chromosomal aneuploidy can then be detected using bioinformatics
analyses, where the detection rate and sensitivity are over 99%.

Limitations
Sage™ is a screening test and all high-risk results should be confirmed through further investigation which may include tests
such as amniocentesis or Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS). Pregnant women with a high-risk result should be referred for
genetic counseling and offered invasive prenatal diagnosis for confirmation of test results. Pregnant women with a negative
test result do not ensure an unaffected pregnancy. While results of this testing are highly accurate, not all chromosomal
abnormalities may be detected due to placental, maternal or fetal mosaicism, or other causes (micro-deletions, chromosome
re-arrangements, translocations, inversions, unbalanced translocations, uniparental disomy). The test is not reportable for
known multiple gestations, or if the gestational age is less than 10 weeks.

Test method
A simple maternal blood sample is taken from the pregnant mother from 10 weeks gestation without any risk to the fetus.
Circulating cell-free placental DNA was purified from the plasma component of anti-coagulated 10mL of maternal whole blood.
It was then converted into a genomic DNA library for Next Generation Sequencing and then determination of chromosomal
aneuploidy.
