ABSTRACT
With the widespread clinical adoption of noninvasive screening for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies based on cell-free DNA analysis from maternal plasma, more researchers are turning their attention to noninvasive prenatal assessment for single-gene disorders. The development of a spectrum of approaches to analyze cell-free DNA in maternal circulation, including relative mutation dosage, relative haplotype dosage, and size-based methods, has expanded the scope of noninvasive prenatal testing to sex-linked and autosomal recessive disorders. Cell-free fetal DNA analysis for several of the more prevalent single-gene disorders has recently been introduced into clinical service. This article reviews the analytical approaches currently available and discusses the extent of the clinical implementation of noninvasive prenatal testing for single-gene disorders.
