This review describes the basis. Alleles were present in the amplified cfdna and were consistent with the presence of ctdna originating from a molar pregnancy the percentage of dna attributable to the molar tissue was estimated by calculating the height of the peak s for the paternal allele s as a proportion of the sum of the allele heights for.
