Abstract
Provided herein are methods for determining the ploidy state of one or more chromosome in a developing fetus. The subject methods provide for increase accuracy by utilizing information about the mosaicism level of one or more chromosomes of interest in the mother of fetus. The mosaicism level of one or more chromosomes of interest is determine for the maternal tissue that is used as the source of nucleic acid for genetic analysis that are used to determine the ploidy state of the fetal chromosome or chromosomes of interest. For example, if 5% white blood cells of mother are missing a copy of the X chromosome, this information can be used when determining fetal ploidy level, rather than operating under the assumption that the maternal X chromosome are present in two copies. Utilization of the mosaicism data can be used to increase the reliability and accuracy of the determination of the ploidy state of a chromosome of interest.
