Table 3.

Allele frequency in the mixture of maternal and fetal cell-free DNA

AB-AB pq(1F1)(1F2) 12+12(eBAeAB)
BB-BB q(q+pF1)(q+pF2) eBA
AA-AB pq(p+qF1)(1F2) (1h2)(1eAB)+h2eBA
BB-AB pq(q+pF1)(1F2) h2+eABh2(eAB+eBA)
AB-AA pq(1F1)(p+qF2) (12+h2)(1eBA)+(12h2)eAB
AB-BB pq(1F1)(q+pF2) (12h2)(1eBA)+(12+h2)eAB

Fetal fraction (FF) is denoted by h. The column marked “Prob” is the probability of the joint genotypes in the first column. fA denotes frequency of A allele conditioning on joint genotypes, taking into account sequencing error.
