Noninvasive prenatal detection of monogenic diseases based on cell-free DNA is hampered by challenges in obtaining a sufficient fraction and adequate quality of fetal DNA. Analyzing rare trophoblastic cells from Papanicolaou smears carrying the entire fetal genome provides an alternative method for noninvasive detection of monogenic diseases. However, intracellular labeling for identification of target cells can affect the quality of DNA in varying degrees. Here, a new approach is developed for nondestructive identification of rare fetal cells from abundant maternal cells based on endoplasmic reticulum staining and linear discriminant analysis (ER-LDA). Compared with traditional methods, ER-LDA has little effect on cell quality, allowing trophoblastic cells to be analyzed on the single-cell level. Using ER-LDA, high-purity of trophoblastic cells can be identified and isolated at single cell resolution from 60 pregnancies between 4 and 38 weeks of gestation. Pathogenic variants, including -(SEA)/ deletion mutation and point mutations, in 11 fetuses at risk for alpha- or beta-thalassemia can be accurately detected by this test. The detection platform can also be extended to analyze the mutational profiles of other monogenic diseases. This simple, low-cost, and noninvasive test can provide valuable fetal cells for fetal genotyping and holds promise for prenatal detection of monogenic diseases.
