High-Throughput Massively Parallel Sequencing for Fetal Aneuploidy Detection from Maternal Plasma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Circulating cell-free (ccf) fetal DNA comprises 3-20% of all the cell-free DNA present in maternal plasma. Numerous research and clinical studies have described the analysis of ccf DNA using next generation sequencing for the detection of fetal aneuploidies with high sensitivity and specificity. We sought to extend the utility of this approach by assessing semi-automated library preparation, higher...
