Prenatal Diagnosis Using Cell-Free Fetal DNA in Amniotic Fluid

The present invention relates to improved methods of prenatal diagnosis, screening, monitoring and / or testing. The inventive methods include the analysis by array-based hybridization of cell-free fetal DNA isolated from amniotic fluid. In addition to allowing the prenatal diagnosis of a variety of diseases and conditions, and the assessment of fetal characteristics such as fetal sex and chromosomal abnormalities, the new inventive methods provide substantially more information about the fetal genome in less time than it takes to perform a conventional metaphase karyotype analysis. In particular, the enhanced molecular karyotype methods provided by the present invention allow the detection of chromosomal aberrations that are not often detected prenatally such as microdeletions, microduplications and subtelomeric rearrangements.

Noninvasive prenatal genotyping of fetal sex chromosomes

Methods, apparatuses, and system are provided for analyzing a maternal sample to determine whether a male fetus of a pregnant female has inherited an X-linked mutation from the mother. A percentage of fetal DNA in the sample is obtained, and cutoff values for the two possibilities (fetus inherits mutant or normal allele) are determined. A proportion of mutant alleles relative to a normal allele on the X-chromosome can then be compared to the cutoff values to make a classification of which allele is inherited. Alternatively, a number of alleles from a target region on the X-chromosome can be compared to a number of alleles from a reference region on the X-chromosome to identify a deletion or amplification. The fetal DNA percentage can be computed by counting reactions with a fetal-specific allele, and correcting the number to account for a statistical distribution among the reactions.

Novel method capable of differentiating fetal sex and fetal sex chromosome abnormality on various platforms

The present invention relates to a method capable of, in order to diagnose fetal sex chromosome aneuploidy, differentiating Kleinfeiter's syndrome (XXY), triple X syndrome (XXX), and Turner's syndrome (monosomy X, XO) as well as male (XY) and female (XX) by using copy number variation (CNV). The differentiation method according to the present invention has significantly high sensitivity and accuracy since the reference line is evenly adjusted by performing normalization regardless of the kinds of platform and data. The present invention is useful in diagnosing the sex chromosome abnormality at an early stage through easy diagnosis of sex chromosomes X and Y, which are hard to diagnose, since an analysis is possible even with a small amount of fetal chromosomes, which corresponds to an advantage of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis, and copies are redundant.
