Developing noninvasive diagnosis for single-gene disorders: the role of digital PCR.

Abstract excerpt

Cell-free fetal DNA constitutes approximately 10 % of the cell-free DNA found in maternal plasma and can be used as a reliable source of fetal genetic material for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) from early pregnancy. The relatively high levels of maternal background can make detection of paternally inherited point mutations challenging. Diagnosis of inheritance of autosomal recessive disorders using qPCR...
