发明名称 Detecting Chromosomal Aneuploidy
摘要 A method for detecting a chromosomal aneuploidy relating to a target nucleic acid region includes the following steps. A reference database is obtained. At least one normalizing factor is determined based on the reference database. A cutoff value is determined based on the reference database. A biological sample under test is sequenced by the sequencing platform to obtain a number of target reads of the biological sample under test. The target reads of the biological sample under test originate from the target nucleic acid region. The number of the target reads of the biological sample under test is normalized by the normalizing factor and then is compared with the cutoff value. Whether the chromosomal aneuploidy relating to the target nucleic acid region is present in the fetus is determined based on the comparison

主权项 1. A method for detecting a chromosomal aneuploidy relating to a target nucleic acid region, the method comprising: obtaining a reference database, wherein the reference database is established by sequencing a plurality of reference biological samples by a sequencing platform; determining at least one normalizing factor based on the reference database; determining a cutoff value based on the reference database; sequencing a biological sample under test by the sequencing platform to obtain a number of target reads of the biological sample under test, wherein the biological sample under test is obtained from a pregnant female and has nucleic acid molecules from the pregnant female and a fetus thereof, and the target reads of the biological sample under test originate from the target nucleic acid region; normalizing the number of the target reads of the biological sample under test by the normalizing factor; comparing the normalized number of the target reads of the biological sample under test with the cutoff value; and determining whether the chromosomal aneuploidy relating to the target nucleic acid region is present in the fetus based on the comparison.
