Noninvasive prenatal testing of α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia through population-based parental haplotyping
Abstract Background Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) of recessive monogenic diseases depends heavily on knowing the correct parental haplotypes. However, the currently used family-based haplotyping method requires pedigrees, and molecular haplotyping is highly challenging due to its high cost, lo...
