Abstract:

This article briefly introduces cell-free fetal DNA(cff DNA) in maternal circulations,followed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) application in prenatal diagnosis. The paper mainly includes the following aspects: sequencing approach,datum analysis and interpretation,current clinical application as well as quality control. Finally,the paper describes the future applications of next-generation sequencing technology in maternal malignacy determination during prenatal testing.

Key words: Next-generation sequencing technology, Non-invasive prenatal testing, Cell-free fetal DNA
