Detection of Chromosome 21-encoded mRNA of Placental Origin in Maternal Plasma
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: mRNA of placental origin (i.e., human placental lactogen and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) has been demonstrated to be easily detectable in maternal plasma. We tested whether detection of chromosome 21-encoded mRNA of placental origin is possible in maternal plasma obtained during the first trimester. METHODS: Plasma samples were obtained from pregnant women between weeks 9-13 of pregnancy. RNA...
