2. Figure 1
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of the 167del in GJB2 gene (sample 1) in the size-fractionated cell-free-DNA from maternal plasma with the homogenous MassEXTEND® assay. The mass spectrum indicated that the fetus has inherited the paternal deletion allele, presented as DEL. The wild-type background allele is presented as A.

3. Figure 2
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of sample 3 with single-allele base extension reaction assay. (A) The analysis of the size-fractionated cell-free-DNA in maternal plasma indicated that the fetus did not inherit the paternal Gaucher disease. The mass spectrum shows the mutant allele G is absent from maternal plasma. (B) The analysis of the size-fractionated cell-free-DNA in maternal plasma indicated that the fetus did not inherit the paternal Tay-Sachs mutation. The mass spectrum shows the mutant allele T is absent from maternal plasma. (C) The analysis of the size-fractionated cell-free-DNA in maternal plasma indicated that the fetal paternally inherited SNP allele G was detectable. UEP=unextended primer.
