    摘要: A method of analyzing a biological sample of an organism, the biological sample including DNA originating from normal cells and potentially from cells associated with cancer, wherein at least some of the DNA is cell-free in the biological sample, the method comprising: for each size of a plurality of sizes: measuring an amount of a first set of DNA fragments from the biological sample corresponding to the size; calculating a first value of a first parameter based on the amounts of DNA fragments at multiple sizes, the first parameter providing a statistical measure of a size profile of DNA fragments in the biological sample; comparing the first value to a reference value; and determining a classification of a level of cancer in the organism based on the comparison.

    摘要: A frequency of somatic mutations in a biological sample (e.g., plasma or serum) of a subject undergoing screening or monitoring for cancer, can be compared with that in the constitutional DNA of the same subject. A parameter can derived from these frequencies and used to determine a classification of a level of cancer. False positives can be filtered out by requiring any variant locus to have at least a specified number of variant sequence reads (tags), thereby providing a more accurate parameter. The relative frequencies for different variant loci can be analyzed to determine a level of heterogeneity of tumors in a patient.

    摘要: 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.
