Title:
METHODS AND PROCESSES FOR NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF GENETIC VARIATIONS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017099419
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and processes for non-invasive evaluation of genetic variation.SOLUTION: The present invention provides a method for detecting the presence or absence of a segmental chromosomal aberration or a fetal aneuploidy or both including: (a) obtaining from a test subject a sample including circulating cell-free nucleic acid; (b) isolating cell-free sample nucleic acid from the sample; (c) obtaining sequence reads from the cell-free sample nucleic acid; (d) mapping the sequence reads obtained in (c) to a known genome divided into genomic sections; (e) counting the mapped sequence reads within the genomic sections; (f) generating a sample normalized count profile by normalizing the counts for the genomic sections obtained in (e); and (g) determining the presence or absence of a segmental chromosomal aberration or a fetal aneuploidy or both from the sample normalized count profile in (f).SELECTED DRAWING: None
