Abstract excerpt
Both intact fetal cells and cell-free fetal DNA are present in the maternal circulation and have been used for non-invasive prenatal genetic diagnosis. However, broad clinical application awaits development of robust methods for collecting, transporting and enriching maternal blood samples to recover rare fetal cells. To circumvent this impediment, we have devised a reliable method of fetal DNA detection using...
