Hemolysis and Fetal Fraction in Cell-Free DNA Blood Collection Tubes for Noninvasive Prenatal Testing
13 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lysis of maternal white blood cells in prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) test samples increases the level of maternal DNA and consequently decreases fetal fraction. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether hemolysis, traditionally used as a marker for cell lysis, is correlated with a decrease in fetal fraction in maternal blood samples collected in specialized cfDNA tubes for...
