DOI: 10.1038/gim.2016.72
Abstract: Purpose:Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing for fetal aneuploidies was broadly implemented for common trisomies and sex-chromosome anomalies (SCAs). However, such an approach identifies only 75 to 85% of clinically relevant aneuploidies.Methods:We present a consecutive series of… read more here.
