Estimation of cell-free fetal DNA fraction from maternal plasma based on linkage disequilibrium information

Abstract Cell-free fetal DNA fraction (FF) in maternal plasma is a key parameter affecting the performance of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Accurate quantitation of FF plays a pivotal role in these tests. However, there are few methods that could determine FF with high accuracy using shallow‐...
