Predicting fetoplacental chromosomal mosaicism during non-invasive prenatal testing

Non-invasive prenatal detection of aneuploidies can be achieved with high accuracy through sequencing of cfDNA in the maternal blood plasma. However, false positive and negative NIPT results remain. Fetoplacental mosaicism is the main cause for false positive and false negative NIPT. We set out to develop a method to detect placental chromosomal mosaicism via genome-wide circulating cell-free maternal plasma DNA (cfDNA) screening.status: publishe
