Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To perform a reliable non-invasive detection of the fetal achondroplasia using maternal plasma. METHODS: We developed a quantitative fluorescent-polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) method suitable for detection of the FGFR3 mutation (G1138A) causing achondroplasia. This method was applied in a non-invasive detection of the fetal achondroplasia using circulating fetal-DNA (cf-DNA) in maternal plasma....
