Quantitative Abnormalities of Fetal DNA in Maternal Serum in Preeclampsia

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There is much recent interest in the biologic and diagnostic implication of cell-free non-host DNA in the plasma and serum of human subjects. To determine if quantitative abnormalities of circulating non-host DNA may be associated with certain pathologic processes, we used circulating fetal DNA in preeclampsia as a model system. METHODS: We studied 20 preeclamptic women and 20 control subjects of...
