    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus for determining at least a portion of fetal genome are provided. DNA fragments from a maternal sample (maternal and fetal DNA) can be analyzed to identify alleles at certain loci. The amounts of DNA fragments of the respective alleles at these loci can be analyzed together to determine relative amounts of the haplotypes for these loci and determine which haplotypes have been inherited from the parental genomes. Loci where the parents are a specific combination of homozygous and heterozygous can be analyzed to determine regions of the fetal genome. Reference haplotypes common in the population can be used along with the analysis of the DNA fragments of the maternal sample to determine the maternal and paternal genomes. Determination of mutations, a fractional fetal DNA concentration in a maternal sample, and a proportion of coverage of a sequencing of the maternal sample can also be provided.

    摘要: Progress of chromosomal aberrations in an organism is determined using biological samples including nucleic acid molecules originating from normal cells and potentially from cells associated with a disease, at least some of the nucleic acid molecules being cell-free. Non-overlapping chromosomal regions of a reference genome of the organism are determined. At a plurality of times: for each of plural nucleic acid molecules, a location thereof in the reference genome is determined; and for each chromosomal region: a respective group of nucleic acid molecules is identified as being therefrom based on the identified locations; a respective value defining a property of the nucleic acid molecules is calculated and compared to a reference value to determine a classification of whether the chromosomal region exhibits a deletion or an amplification. The classifications at the plurality of times are used to determine the progress of the chromosomal aberrations in the organism.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided for determining zygosity of a multiple-fetus pregnancy using a biological sample taken from the mother. The fetal and maternal DNA in the sample (e.g. plasma) can be analyzed for a particular chromosomal region to identify genetic differences in the fetuses. For example, a normalized parameter for the measure of a primary or secondary allele can show variances for different chromosomal regions when fetuses are dizygotic. Such a variance can be determined relative to an expected value if the fetuses were genetically identical. Statistical methods are provided for analyzing the variation of the normalized parameters to determine fetal DNA concentration and the maternal- fetal mixed genotype at various loci. Parental genotype and haplotype information can also be used to identify inheritance of different parental haplotypes to indicate genetic differences among the fetuses.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for performing a prenatal diagnosis of a sequence imbalance are provided. A shift (e.g. to a smaller size distribution) can signify an imbalance in certain circumstances. For example, a size distribution of fragments of nucleic acids from an at-risk chromosome can be used to determine a fetal chromosomal aneuploidy. A size ranking of different chromosomes can be used to determine changes of a rank of an at-risk chromosome from an expected ranking. Also, a difference between a statistical size value for one chromosome can be compared to a statistical size value of another chromosome to identify a significant shift in size. A genotype and haplotype of the fetus may also be determined using a size distribution to determine whether a sequence imbalance occurs in a maternal sample relative to a genotypes or haplotype of the mother, thereby providing a genotype or haplotype of the fetus.

    摘要: A plasma sample of an organism is analysed. The sample includes cell-free DNA fragments originating from normal cells and potentially from cells associated with cancer. For each of a plurality of DNA fragments: one or more sequence reads is received, including both ends of the DNA fragment; the sequence reads are aligned to a reference genome to obtain aligned locations for both ends; and the aligned locations are used to determine a size of the DNA fragment. For each of a plurality of sizes, an amount of a set of the plurality of DNA fragments from the plasma sample corresponding to the size is determined. There is calculated a value of a first parameter based on the amounts of DNA fragments at multiple sizes, providing a statistical measure of a size profile of DNA fragments. The value is compared to a calibration value to estimate a fractional concentration of tumor DNA.
