    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for determining the ploidy status of a chromosome in a gestating fetus from genotypic data measured from a mixed sample of DNA comprising DNA from both the mother of the fetus and from the fetus, and optionally from genotypic data from the mother and father. The ploidy state is determined by using a joint distribution model to create a plurality of expected allele distributions for different possible fetal ploidy states given the parental genotypic data, and comparing the expected allelic distributions to the pattern of measured allelic distributions measured in the mixed sample, and choosing the ploidy state whose expected allelic distribution pattern most closely matches the observed allelic distribution pattern. The mixed sample of DNA may be preferentially enriched at a plurality of polymorphic loci in a way that minimizes the allelic bias, for example using massively multiplexed targeted PCR.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for making allele calls, and for determining the ploidy state, in one or a small set of cells, or where a limited quantity of genetic data is available. Poorly or incorrectly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed and the haplotypes are determined using expected similarities between the target genome and the knowledge of the genomes of genetically related individuals. In one embodiment, incomplete genetic data from an embryonic cell are reconstructed at a plurality of loci using the genetic data from both parents, and possibly one or more sperm and/or sibling embryos. In another embodiment, the chromosome copy number can be determined using the same input data. In another embodiment, these determinations are made for embryo selection during IVF, for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, or for making phenotypic predictions.

    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for determining the ploidy state of one or more chromosome in a developing fetus. The subject methods provide for increase accuracy by utilizing information about the mosaicism level of one or more chromosomes of interest in the mother of fetus. The mosaicism level of one or more chromosomes of interest is determine for the maternal tissue that is used as the source of nucleic acid for genetic analysis that are used to determine the ploidy state of the fetal chromosome or chromosomes of interest. For example, if 5% white blood cells of mother are missing a copy of the X chromosome, this information can be used when determining fetal ploidy level, rather than operating under the assumption that the maternal X chromosome are present in two copies. Utilization of the mosaicism data can be used to increase the reliability and accuracy of the determination of the ploidy state of a chromosome of interest.
