  • Publication number: 20220282332
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for performing a prenatal diagnosis of a sequence imbalance are provided. A shift (e.g., to a smaller size distribution) can signify an imbalance in certain circumstances. For example, a size distribution of fragments of nucleic acids from an at-risk chromosome can be used to determine a fetal chromosomal aneuploidy. A size ranking of different chromosomes can be used to determine changes of a rank of an at-risk chromosome from an expected ranking. Also, a difference between a statistical size value for one chromosome can be compared to a statistical size value of another chromosome to identify a significant shift in size. A genotype and haplotype of the fetus may also be determined using a size distribution to determine whether a sequence imbalance occurs in a maternal sample relative to a genotypes or haplotype of the mother, thereby providing a genotype or haplotype of the fetus.

  • Publication number: 20220093212
    Abstract: A fractional concentration of fetal relevant DNA in a mixture of DNA from a biological sample is determined based on amounts of DNA fragments of a particular size or range of sizes. DNA fragments may be sequenced to obtain sequence reads, and the sequence reads may be aligned to a reference genome to determine sizes of the DNA fragments. Calibration data points (e.g., as a calibration function) indicate a correspondence between values of a parameter providing a statistical measure of a size profile and the fractional concentration of the fetal DNA. For a given sample, a value of the parameter can be determined from DNA fragments of a particular size or range of sizes in a sample. A comparison of the value to the calibration data points can provide the estimate of the fractional concentration of the fetal DNA.

  • Patent number: 11217330
    Abstract: A fractional concentration of clinically-relevant DNA in a mixture of DNA from a biological sample is determined based on amounts of DNA fragments at multiple sizes. For example, the fractional concentration of fetal DNA in maternal plasma or tumor DNA in a patient's plasma can be determined. The size of DNA fragments in a sample is shown to be correlated with a proportion of fetal DNA and a proportion of tumor DNA, respectively. Calibration data points (e.g., as a calibration function) indicate a correspondence between values of a size parameter and the fractional concentration of the clinically-relevant DNA. For a given sample, a first value of a size parameter can be determined from the sizes of DNA fragments in a sample. A comparison of the first value to the calibration data points can provide the estimate of the fractional concentration of the clinically-relevant DNA.

  • Publication number: 20210257053
    Abstract: A fractional concentration of tumor DNA in a plasma sample is estimated by analyzing a biological sample of an organism. One or more sequence reads obtained from a sequencing of the DNA fragment are received. The one or more sequence reads are aligned to a reference genome to obtain aligned locations for both ends of the DNA fragment. Using the aligned locations, a size of the DNA fragment is determined. For each size of a plurality of sizes, an amount of a set of the plurality of DNA fragments from the plasma sample corresponding to the size is determined. A first value of a first parameter is calculated based on the amounts of DNA fragments at multiple sizes. The first value is compared to a calibration value. A fractional concentration of tumor DNA in the plasma sample is estimated based on the comparison.
