Noninvasive diagnosis of fetal aneuploidy by shotgun sequencing DNA from maternal blood
6 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
We directly sequenced cell-free DNA with high-throughput shotgun sequencing technology from plasma of pregnant women, obtaining, on average, 5 million sequence tags per patient sample. This enabled us to measure the over- and underrepresentation of chromosomes from an aneuploid fetus. The sequencing approach is polymorphism-independent and therefore universally applicable for the noninvasive detection of fetal...
