Noninvasive prenatal detection of fetal trisomy and single gene disease by shotgun sequencing of placenta originated exosome DNA: a proof-of-concept validation
2018-11-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> During human pregnancy, Placental trophectoderm cells can release exosomes into maternal circulation. Trophoblast cells also give rise to cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and has been used for noninvasive prenatal screening for chromosomal aneuploidy. We intended to prove the existence of exosomal DNA (exoDNA) in the exosomes of maternal blood and compared exoDNA with plasma cfDNA in terms of genome dist...
