FISH Analysis of All Fetal Nucleated Cells in Maternal Whole Blood: Improved Specificity by the Use of Two Y-chromosome Probes
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Current cytogenetic approaches in noninvasive prenatal diagnosis focus on fetal nucleated red blood cells in maternal blood. This practice may be too restrictive because a vast proportion of other fetal cells is ignored. Recent studies have indicated that fetal cells can be directly detected, without prior enrichment, in maternal blood samples by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis for chromosomes...
