Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop a method for noninvasive prenatal paternity testing based on targeted sequencing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). METHOD: SNPs were selected based on population genetics data. Target-SNPs in cell-free DNA extracted from maternal blood (maternal cfDNA) were analyzed by targeted sequencing wherein target enrichment was based on multiplex amplification using QIAseq Targeted DNA Panels...
