Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The identification of very low-levels of minority sequences has interesting clinical and diagnostic applications. Among these, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of genetic diseases on fetal DNA circulating in maternal plasma is an emerging field of application. METHODS: A combined approach based on innovative microarray slides coated with a special copolymer was developed for the identification of three...
