Abstract excerpt
Circulating cell-free fetal DNA in maternal serum offers an early and non-invasive method for prenatal diagnosis, but the origin of this DNA is still unknown. We report the absence of the SRY gene in maternal serum of a pregnant woman despite male genitalia at ultrasound. The karyotype was 45,X after direct trophoblast analysis and 45,X/46,Xidic(Yp) after culture and in all fetal tissues studied. Due to the...
