Abstract
Obstet Gynecol Surv 2015;70(8):481–482 There are noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) approaches using cell-free DNA in the maternal circulation to detect those women at high risk of trisomy 21, trisomy 18, trisomy 13, and sex chromosomal abnormalities. This study estimates the success of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) approach to analyzing maternal cell-free DNA in detecting 5 fetal microdeletion syndromes.
