Optimization of Transrenal DNA Analysis: Detection of Fetal DNA in Maternal Urine
31 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fragments of DNA from cells dying throughout the body are detectable in urine (transrenal DNA, or Tr-DNA). Our goal was the optimization of Tr-DNA isolation and detection techniques, using as a model the analysis of fetal DNA in maternal urine. METHODS: We isolated urinary DNA using a traditional silica-based method and using a new technique based on adsorption of cell-free nucleic acids on...
