Abstract excerpt
Our purpose was to develop and evaluate isolation and enrichment of fetal erythroblasts and a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach using fetal erythroblasts for detecting the beta-globin gene mutations for a noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies. Maternal blood at different periods of gestation was layered on a Percoll density gradient for enrichment of fetal nucleated RBCs (NRBCs). A...
