Title: Size-based analysis of fetal dna fraction in maternal plasma
Inventor: LO YUK MING DENNIS
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2017-01-04
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine a fractional concentration of clinically relevant DNA in a mixture of DNA from a biological sample on the basis of amounts of DNA fragments at multiple sizes.SOLUTION: For example, the fractional concentration of fetal DNA in maternal plasma or tumor DNA in a patient's plasma can be measured. The size of DNA fragments in a sample is shown to be correlated with a proportion of fetal DNA and a proportion of tumor DNA, respectively. Calibration data points (e.g., as a calibration function) indicate a correspondence between values of a size parameter and the fractional concentration of the clinically relevant DNA. For a given sample, a first value of the size parameter can be determined from the sizes of DNA fragments in the sample. A comparison of the first value to the calibration data points can provide an estimate of the fractional concentration of the clinically relevant DNA.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
