Research Progress of Cell-Free Fetal DNA in Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis of Thalassemia

Abstract excerpt

Thalassemia is a genetic disease that seriously affects the health of the fetus. At present, invasive prenatal diagnosis is the main method of thalassemia screening, but invasive prenatal diagnosis has the risk of fetal abortion. The discovery of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in the peripheral blood of pregnant women provides the possibility for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD). Rapid and efficient capture...
