Title:
METHYLATION PATTERN ANALYSIS OF HAPLOTYPES IN TISSUES IN DNA MIXTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/012544
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and method are provided for determining the contributions of different tissues to a biological sample that includes a mixture of cell-free DNA molecules from various tissues types, e.g., as occurs in plasma or serum and other body fluids. Embodiments can analyze the methylation patterns of the DNA mixture (e.g., methylation levels at particular loci) for a particular haplotype and determine fractional contributions of various tissue types to the DNA mixture, e.g., of fetal tissue types or tissue types of specific organs that might have a tumor. Such fractional contributions determined for a haplotype can be used in a variety of ways.
