High Sensitivity of Fetal DNA in Plasma Compared to Serum and Nucleated Cells Using Unnested PCR in Maternal Blood
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
DNA analysis of blood is conventionally performed on cells - plasma and serum are discarded. Free DNA has been demonstrated in serum in cancer and autoimmune disorders and in pregnancy. We investigated possible noninvasive prenatal diagnosis using fetal DNA from maternal plasma and serum in pregnancy.
