The Potential Usefulness of Free Fetal DNA for Prenatal Fetal Gender Determination in Blood Plasma of Pregnant Goat

The potential usefulness of free fetal DNA in maternal blood for prenatal fetal gender determination in multiple pregnancies.

We applied a noninvasive prenatal test for the determination of fetal gender in multiple pregnancies by using free fetal DNA circulating in maternal blood in order to evaluate whether the quantification of male DNA could distinguish the fetal gender and the number of male and female fetuses in multiple pregnancies. We enrolled consecutively 44 women with twin pregnancies between 11-14 weeks of ...

Prenatal determination of farm animal fetal sex using free fetal DNA in maternal plasma

In many farm animal species, the preference of a specific sex is obvious mainly due to commercial implications; so for comprehensive and efficient results in the livestock management plans specially breedingand selection programs, it is necessary to include acost-effective and reliable strategy for early determination of fetal sex. Several invasive and non-invasive approaches have been establis...

determination of maximal singularity free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulator

due to the limiting workspace of parallel manipulator and regarding to finding the trajectory planning of singularity free at workspace is difficult, so finding a best solution that can develop a technique to determine the singularity-free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulators is highly important. in this thesis a simple and new technique are presented to determine the maximal singula...

A Low-Cost Efficient Multiplex P CR for Prenatal Sex Determination in Bovine Fetus U sing Free Fetal DNA in Maternal Plasma

An Effective Method for Detecting Y-chromosome Specific Sequences of Circulating Fetal DNA in Maternal Plasma During the First-trimester

Background and Aims: New advances in the use of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma of pregnant women has provided the possibility of applying cffDNA in prenatal diagnosis as a non-invasive method. One of the applications of prenatal diagnosis is fetal gender determination. Early prenatal determination of fetal sex is required for pregnant women at risk of X-linked and some endocrin...
