Entering a new chapter in the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare, X-linked pediatric neuromuscular disease with onset in early childhood, leading to progressive loss of function. With life-altering treatments on the near horizon, there is a growing need to identify boys born with Duchenne in order for them to benefit from the emerging therapies as early as possible. See our videos for clinical aspects of DMD, insights on early detection, setting up a screening pilot, and more.

Understanding Fetal Fraction in cfDNA screening

Fetal fraction has been used by some laboratories to determine if they can have confidence in their results. However, there are significant factors to consider when determining its merit, including assay precision, the accuracy of a reported fetal fraction metric and the implications of using a fetal fraction cutoff. In the enclosed publication, we present the science, the data and the impact of using the fetal fraction metric within a clinical context.
