Introducing a New and Simple Protocol for Capillary Electrophoresis of Cell Free Fetal Double Stranded DNA
Isolation of cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) from maternal serum usually leads to very low concentrations of DNA impeding further resolving through conventional methods of electrophoresis. Although several protocols have been described for capillary electrophoresis (CE) of double stranded DNA, they usually need using special polymers or coated capillaries which degrade over time. Herein, we propos...
متن کاملCritically Appraised Topic Fetal RHD genotyping in maternal blood using cell-free fetal DNA
The discovery of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma has opened up new possibilities for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD). Real-time PCR protocols as well as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry techniques have been developed to determine fetal RHD genotype on maternal plasma. In several European centers, NIPD for fetal RHD has become the standard of care for evaluation of anti-D allo-...
متن کاملcell free fetal dna testing in maternal blood of romanian pregnant women
background: the discovery of circulating fetal dna in maternal blood led to the discovery of new strategies to perform noninvasive testing for prenatal diagnosis. objective: the purpose of the study was to detect fetal aneuploidy at chromosomes 13, 18, 21, x, and y by analysis of fetal cell-free dna from maternal blood, without endangering pregnancy. materials and methods: this retrospective st...
متن کاملNon-invasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal trisomy 21 using cell-free fetal DNA in maternal blood
Since the existence of cell-free fetal DNA (cff-DNA) in maternal circulation was discovered, it has been identified as a promising source of fetal genetic material in the development of reliable methods for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) of fetal trisomy 21 (T21). Currently, a prenatal diagnosis of fetal T21 is achieved through invasive techniques, such as chorionic villus sampling or a...
متن کاملCell‐free fetal DNA: the new tool in fetal medicine
Since the discovery of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma in 19971 there has been rapid progress in harnessing this as a source of fetal genetic material for prenatal diagnosis. The majority of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is maternal in origin2, with the fetal proportion emanating from the placenta3, detectable in the maternal circulation from around 5 weeks’ gestation2 and constituting ...
