  1. Quantification of maternal Mc is reported as the genome equivalent number of maternal cells per 100 000 proband cells (gEq/100 000). Results for subsets and PBMC are from the same blood draw. Purity was greater than 99% unless otherwise indicated: (1)97% ≤purity <99%; (2)95% ≤purity <97%. —: purity <95% or sorted cell yield insufficient (see Materials and methods). One woman was tested for two different blood draws and was negative in both (#13). Subjects 8, 9 and 10 belong to the same family (8 is the mother of 9 and 10); subjects 30 and 31 belong to the same family (30 is the mother of 31).
  2. Positive results are indicated in bold.
