Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of chromosome aneuploidies has been achieved by measuring the ratio of two alleles of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in circulating placental mRNA (the RNA-SNP allelic ratio approach) in maternal plasma. We investigated the feasibility of applying this approach for the non-invasive prenatal detection of fetal trisomy 18. METHOD: We targeted serpin peptidase...
