  • AMPLIFICATION OF CELL-FREE DNA USING NESTED PCR
    Publication number: 20200190570
    Abstract: Methods for non-invasive prenatal paternity testing are disclosed herein. The method uses genetic measurements made on plasma taken from a pregnant mother, along with genetic measurements of the alleged father, and genetic measurements of the mother, to determine whether or not the alleged father is the biological father of the fetus. This is accomplished by way of an informatics based method that can compare the genetic fingerprint of the fetal DNA found in maternal plasma to the genetic fingerprint of the alleged father.

  • Systems and Methods for Detection of Aneuploidy
    Publication number: 20200126634
    Abstract: Provided herein are improved methods for detecting aneuploidy in a sample. The methods in certain embodiments are used for the analysis of circulating DNA in serum samples, such as circulating fetal DNA or circulating tumor DNA. In certain embodiments, chromosome or chromosome segments of interest are used to set a bias model and/or a control value for a z- score determination, in illustrative examples without the use of a control chromosome.
