Disclosed are methods for determining copy number variation (CNV) known or suspected to be associated with a variety of medical conditions. In some embodiments, methods are provided for determining copy number variation of fetuses using maternal samples comprising maternal and fetal cell free DNA. In some embodiments, methods are provided for determining CNVs known or suspected to be associated with a variety of medical conditions. Some embodiments disclosed herein provide methods to improve the sensitivity and/or specificity of sequence data analysis by deriving a fragment size parameter. In some implementations, information from fragments of different sizes are used to evaluate copy number variations. In some implementations, one or more t-statistics obtained from coverage information of the sequence of interest is used to evaluate copy number variations. In some implementations, one or more fetal fraction estimates are combined with one or more t-statistics to determine copy number variations.

Provided herein are methods for determining fetal ploidy according to nucleic acid sequence reads. Nucleic acid sequence reads may be obtained from test sample nucleic acid comprising circulating cell-free nucleic acid from the blood of a pregnant female bearing a fetus. Fetal ploidy may be determined according to genomic section levels and a fraction of fetal nucleic acid in a test sample.
