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 polymorphism-dependent or used statistical analyses which were confined to one or a small number of…

Size-based molecular diagnostics using plasma DNA for noninvasive prenatal testing
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the fetal DNA fraction in maternal plasma can be rapidly measured by size analysis, even simply using microchip-based capillary electrophoresis, and the principle of size-based molecular diagnostics using plasma DNA is established.
Noninvasive prenatal testing by maternal plasma DNA analysis: Current practice and future applications

TLDR
It is envisioned that an increasing number of the noninvasive prenatal tests will become clinically available and the ethical, social and legal implications of the introduction of some of these tests would need to be discussed in the context of different cultures, societal values and the legal framework.
Second generation noninvasive fetal genome analysis reveals de novo mutations, single-base parental inheritance, and preferred DNA ends
TLDR
The limit of noninvasive prenatal testing was explored by performing genome-wide sequencing of maternal plasma DNA at 195× and 270× haploid genome coverages and improvements in the interpretation of the sequence information of every base position in the genome allowed us to interrogate the maternal inheritance of the fetus.

TLDR
NIPT can be used to identify monogenic disorders including the identification of autosomal recessive disorders where the maternally inherited mutation needs to be identified in the presence of an excess of maternal DNA that contains the same mutation.

TLDR
The reported approach has the potential to simultaneously detect genetic variations at different levels, facilitating the extension of NIPT to all common genetic conditions for general low-risk pregnancies and target variations for certain high-risk pregnancy groups.
Noninvasive fetal genomic, methylomic, and transcriptomic analyses using maternal plasma and clinical implications.
Detection of fetal subchromosomal abnormalities by sequencing circulating cell-free DNA from maternal plasma.
TLDR
This work presents a novel approach that uses low-coverage whole genome sequencing (approximately 0.2×) to detect MDs genome wide without requiring prior knowledge of the event's location, and achieves 94.4% sensitivity and 99.
High Levels of Sample-to-Sample Variation Confound Data Analysis for Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening of Fetal Microdeletions
TLDR
Testing the hypothesis that inter-individual genomic copy number variation in control samples is a confounding factor in the non-invasive prenatal detection of fetal microdeletions via the sequence-based analysis of maternal plasma DNA found strong correlation between high variance in read counts and GVF amongst controls.

Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal aneuploidy by massively parallel genomic sequencing of DNA in maternal plasma
TLDR
Massively parallel plasma DNA sequencing represents a new approach that is potentially applicable to all pregnancies for the noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies.
Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis of Fetal Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13 by Maternal Plasma DNA Sequencing
TLDR
Improved detection of trisomy 13 and 18 by using a non-repeat-masked reference human genome instead of a repeat-Masked one to increase the number of aligned sequence reads for each sample and a bioinformatics approach to correct GC content bias in the sequencing data indicate that noninvasive prenatal diagnosis by maternal plasma DNA sequencing is achievable.

TLDR
Proof-of-concept studies have detected a chromosomal translocation and a microdeletion and have deduced a genome-wide genetic map of a fetus from maternal plasma, enabling the robust detection of fetal trisomies in maternal plasma.
Maternal Plasma DNA Sequencing Reveals the Genome-Wide Genetic and Mutational Profile of the Fetus
TLDR
This study shows that sequencing of maternal plasma DNA provides a way for noninvasive prenatal genome- wide scanning for genetic disorders and suggests the feasibility of using genome-wide scanning to diagnose fetal genetic disorders prenatally in a noninvasively way.
Detection of microdeletion 22q11.2 in a fetus by next-generation sequencing of maternal plasma.
TLDR
Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of subchromosomal fetal genomic anomalies is feasible with next-generation sequencing after a statistically significant loss of representation of a portion of chromosome 22q11.2 in both of the affected fetal samples.

TLDR
With the use of massively parallel sequencing, the existence of transrenal fetal DNA in maternal urine is confirmed, and it is shown that urinary fetal DNA was heavily degraded.

This study shows for the first time that single molecule sequencing is an attractive and easy to use alternative for reliable noninvasive fetal aneuploidy detection in diagnostics and demonstrates that experimental noise associated with PCR amplification, such as GC bias, can be overcome.
Targeted massively parallel sequencing of maternal plasma DNA permits efficient and unbiased detection of fetal alleles.

TLDR
A digital relative mutation dosage (RMD) approach that determines if the dosages of the mutant and wild-type alleles of a disease-causing gene are balanced or unbalanced in maternal plasma is described and a digital nucleic acid size selection strategy is developed that effectively enriches the fetal DNA without additional plasma sampling or experimental time.
