چکیده

The identification of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma in 1997 heralded the most significant change in obstetric care for decades, with the advent of safer screening and diagnosis based on analysis of maternal blood. Here, we describe how the technological advances offered by next-generation sequencing have allowed for the development of a highly sensitive screening test for aneuploidies as well as definitive prenatal molecular diagnosis for some monogenic disorders.

Noninvasive Prenatal Molecular Karyotyping from Maternal Plasma

Fetal DNA is present in the plasma of pregnant women. Massively parallel sequencing of maternal plasma DNA has been used to detect fetal trisomies 21, 18, 13 and selected sex chromosomal aneuploidies noninvasively. Case reports describing the detection of fetal microdeletions from maternal plasma using massively parallel sequencing have been reported. However, these previous reports were either...

Noninvasive prenatal test for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies by massively parallel sequencing of cell- free fetal DNA in maternal plasma: The first clinical experience in Korea

mostly trisomy 21, relies exclusively on biochemical and sonographic measurements performed in the first and second trimesters. With a 3-5% false-positive rate, first-trimester screening achieves a detection rate of about 60-95% for trisomy 21 [1-3]. In 1997, Lo et al. [4] first demonstrated the presence Noninvasive prenatal test for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies by massively parallel sequenci...

Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of monogenic diseases by targeted massively parallel sequencing of maternal plasma: application to β-thalassemia.

BACKGROUND A genomewide genetic and mutational profile of a fetus was recently determined via deep sequencing of maternal plasma DNA. This technology could have important applications for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) of many monogenic diseases. Relative haplotype dosage (RHDO) analysis, a core step of this procedure, would allow one to elucidate the maternally inherited half of the fet...

Noninvasive Prenatal Detection for Pathogenic CNVs: The Application in α-Thalassemia

BACKGROUND The discovery of cell free fetal DNA (cff-DNA) in maternal plasma has brought new insight for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis. Combining with the rapidly developed massively parallel sequencing technology, noninvasive prenatal detection of chromosome aneuploidy and single base variation has been successfully validated. However, few studies discussed the possibility of noninvasive path...

Noninvasive prenatal testing of trisomies 21 and 18 by massively parallel sequencing of maternal plasma DNA in twin pregnancies.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess the performance of noninvasive prenatal testing for trisomies 21 and 18 on the basis of massively parallel sequencing of cell-free DNA from maternal plasma in twin pregnancies. METHOD A double-blind study was performed over 12 months. A total of 189 pregnant women carrying twins were recruited from seven hospitals. Maternal plasma DNA sequenc...
