How do women of diverse backgrounds value prenatal testing outcomes?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:This study introduces a novel method, referred to as SeqFF, for estimating the fetal DNA fraction in the plasma of pregnant women and to infer the underlying mechanism that allows for such statistical modeling. METHODS:Autosomal regional read counts from whole-genome massively parallel single-end sequencing ...
