Abstract excerpt
DNA fragments from cells that have died throughout the body not only appear in the bloodstream but also cross the kidney barrier into the urine. The relatively low molecular weight (150-200 bp) of this Transrenal DNA should be considered when deciding on methods of isolation and analysis. In particular, if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used for amplification and detection of specific sequences, then the...
