Massively parallel sequencing of cell-free, maternal plasma DNA was recently demonstrated to be a safe and effective screening method for fetal Rx - Antifungals chromosomal aneuploidies.Here, we report an improved sequencing method achieving significantly increased throughput and decreased cost by replacing laborious sequencing library preparation steps with PCR employing a single primer pair designed to amplify a discrete subset of repeated regions.Using this approach, samples containing as little as 4% trisomy 21 DNA could be readily distinguished Key Toy from euploid samples.
