Abstract excerpt
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), which involves analysis of circulating cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) from maternal plasma, is highly effective for detecting feto-placental chromosome aneuploidy. However, recent studies suggested that coverage-based shallow-depth NIPT cannot accurately detect smaller single or multi-loci genetic variants. To assess the fetal genotype of any locus using maternal plasma, we...
