Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop a noninvasive prenatal test on the basis of the analysis of cell-free DNA in maternal blood to detect fetal aneuploidy at chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y. METHODS: A total of 166 samples from pregnant women, including 11 trisomy 21, three trisomy 18, two trisomy 13, two 45,X, and two 47,XXY samples, were analyzed using an informatics-based method. Cell-free DNA from maternal...
