What's already known about this topic? NIPT for fetal sex determination is routinely performed, yet false results may arise due to rare incidents such as feto‐placental mosaicism, vanishing twin, or maternal bone marrow transplantation.What does this study adds? We present a statistical method to determine whether the Y‐chromosomal sequences originate from a placental or maternal source, hence eliminating the rare false fetal sex results due to maternal male bone marrow transplants.
