Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to develop a molecular assay to determine the fetal RhD blood type on single diploid cells, including blastomeres. STUDY DESIGN: Polymerase chain reaction amplification of a 99 bp deoxyribonucleic acid fragment of the RhD gene or a 113 bp fragment from the RhCE gene was...
