Abstract
Elevated fetal fraction levels at 14.1-20.0 weeks' gestation were significantly associated with an increased incidence of preterm birth. Our findings warrant future exploration including validation in a larger, general population and investigation of the potential mechanisms that may be responsible for the initiation of preterm labor associated with increased fetal cell-free DNA.
