Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided herein are methods, processes and apparatuses for non-invasive assessment of genetic variations.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining presence or absence of a chromosome trisomy for a test sample, comprising: (a) obtaining counts of sequence reads mapped to portions of a reference genome, which sequence reads are of circulating cell-free nucleic acid from a test sample from a pregnant female; (b) determining a guanine and cytosine (GC) bias coefficient for the test sample based on a fitted relation between (i) the counts of the sequence reads mapped to each of th…
