Measurement of fetal fraction in cell-free DNA from maternal plasma using a panel of insertion/deletion polymorphisms
30 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Cell-free DNA from maternal plasma can be used for non-invasive prenatal testing for aneuploidies and single gene disorders, and also has applications as a biomarker for monitoring high-risk pregnancies, such as those at risk of pre-eclampsia. On average, the fractional cell-free fetal DNA concentration in plasma is approximately 15%, but can vary from less than 4% to greater than 30%. Although...
