    摘要: The present invention provides, among other things, new methods for optimizing comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) data analysis. In particular, the methods of the invention provide increased sensitivity and specificity due to the implemented individual chromosome-based GC-wave correction. In certain embodiments, the log ratios of probes derived from each chromosome are corrected based on the chromosome's GC content slope, and certain selected chromosomes undergo chromosomal median adjustment. As a result, the log ratios of the probes on the array are normalized to be closer to zero (0) for diploid regions and thus, the GC waves are substantially reduced, resulting in a reduced false positive rate. Systems, computer readable media, and kits for use in the optimized CGH methods also are provided.

    摘要: The present invention provides a novel approach for identification and characterization of differentially represented fetal or maternal genomic regions in maternal circulation. Identification of overrepresented fetal genomic regions in the maternal circulation according to the present invention permit accurate analysis of fetal DNA without the need for enrichment or purification, which provides a simpler, more accurate and efficient prenatal diagnosis in early pregnancy. The present invention is particularly useful for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis during early pregnancy (e.g., during the first trimester).
