Abstract excerpt
Recently, it has been discovered that cell-free fetal DNA is smaller than corresponding maternal DNA. Therefore, circulating fetal DNA can be enriched by size-fractionation. Such a selection improves the non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of paternally inherited single gene mutations. Recent studies showed that MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) can be used to reliably detect fetal-specific single-nucleotide...
