Abstract excerpt
The determination of fetal point mutations from fetal cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) in maternal plasma is technically challenging due to the preponderance of maternal sequences. It has recently been shown that fetal cf-DNA sequences are smaller than maternal ones and that the selection of small cf-DNA fragments by size fractionation by agarose gel electrophoresis leads to the enrichment of fetal cf-DNA sequences,...
