Table 2.

Number of sites and accuracy of fetal genotype inference from maternal plasma sequencing (percentage of transmitted alleles correct out of all predicted) by parental genotype and phasing status. Sites later determined by trio sequencing (including the offspring) to have poor genotype quality scores or genotypes that violated Mendelian inheritance were discarded the purpose of evaluating accuracy (14,000 maternal-only, 32,233 paternal-only, and 480 shared heterozygous sites, or 1.5% of all sites).

Individual Site Other parental genotype Number of Sites Accuracy
Mother (I1-M) Heterozygous, phased Homozygous 1,064,255 99.3%
Heterozygous 576,242 98.7%

Heterozygous, not phased All 121,425 N.D.

Father (I1-P) Heterozygous Homozygous 1,134,192 96.8%
Heterozygous 631,721 N.D.

Among biparentally heterozygous sites, accuracy was assessed only where the offspring was homozygous (48.8%, n=631,721), allowing the “true” transmitted alleles to be unambiguously inferred from trio genotypes.
