<h4>Objective</h4>NIPT for fetal aneuploidy by digital PCR has been hampered by the large number of PCR reactions needed to meet statistical requirements, preventing clinical application. Here, we designed an octoplex droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay which allows increasing the number of available targets and thus overcomes statistical obstacles.<h4>Method</h4>After technical optimization of the multiplex PCR on mixtures of trisomic and euploid DNA, we performed a validation study on samples of ...[more]
