Massively parallel sequencing of cell-free, maternal plasma DNA was recently demonstrated to be a safe and effective screening method for fetal chromosomal Dishwasher Display Module aneuploidies.Here, we report an improved sequencing method achieving significantly increased throughput and decreased cost by replacing laborious sequencing library preparation steps with PCR employing a single primer pair designed to amplify a discrete subset Phone Board Connector of repeated regions.Using this approach, samples containing as little as 4% trisomy 21 DNA could be readily distinguished from euploid samples.
