PPV and other summary data were reviewed.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Diagnostic test results were collected for 1327 women with a positive NIPT. The highest PPVs were for Trisomy (T) 21 (624/671, 93%) and XYY (26/27, 96.3%), while rare autosomal trisomies (9/47, 19.1%) and recurrent microdeletions (8/55, 14.5%) had the lowest PPVs. PPVs for T21, T18, and T13 were significantly higher when diagnostic confirmation was carried out on chorionic villi (97.5%) compared to amniotic fluid (89.5%) (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). In 19/139 (13.9%), of no result cases, a cytogenetic abnormality was detected. Follow‐up genetic testing provided explanations for 3/6 cases with a fetal sex discordancy between NIPT and ultrasound.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>NIPT PPVs differ across the conditions screened and the tissues studied in diagnostic testing. This variability, issues associated with fetal sex discordancy, and no results, illustrate the importance of pre‐ and post‐test counselling.</jats:p></jats:sec>
