Detection of cell free placental DNA in maternal plasma: direct evidence from three cases of confined placental mosaicism
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Fetal cells are consistently found in the maternal circulation, and polymerase chain reaction based studies have led to the identification of cell free fetal DNA (fetal DNA) in maternal blood. Approximately 1.2 nucleated fetal cells/ml of whole blood from women carrying a male fetus were detectable,1 and relative enrichment of fetal DNA was detected in the maternal plasma and serum.2 The amount of fetal DNA in...
