- Analyzed the NIPT screen positive rate at different read depths and identified a strategy for fetal CNV detection.
- “Increasing read depth in NGS [next-generation sequencing] improves the positive CNV detection rate while lowering the false positive detection rate. NIPT by NGS may be an accurate method of fetal chromosome analysis and reduce the rate of birth defects.”
