Noninvasive Prenatal Test for β-Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease Using Probe Capture Enrichment and Next-Generation Sequencing of DNA in Maternal Plasma
11 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) of chromosomal aneuploidies based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of fetal DNA in maternal plasma is well established, but testing for autosomal recessive disorders remains challenging. NGS libraries prepared by probe capture facilitate the analysis of the short DNA fragments plasma. This system has been applied to the β-hemoglobinopathies to reduce the...
