Background We determined fetal sex in pregnancies referred for invasive prenatal diagnosis
procedures by analysis of DNA in maternal plasma. Methods Twelve pregnancies at risk of X …

Objectives To evaluate at what gestational age fetal DNA can reliably be detected at the
earliest in maternal plasma. Methods We performed consecutive blood sampling in the first …

INTRODUCTION: Non-invasive methods using maternal plasma and serum for molecular
genetic diagnosis become an important field of interest in prenatal genetic diagnosis. Free …

OBJECTIVE: Clinical indications for fetal sex determination include risk of X-linked
disorders, a family history of conditions associated with ambiguous development of the …

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of the real-time
quantitative PCR method for fetal gender determination in early pregnancy. Methods. Blood …

Since the discovery of the presence of fetal DNA in maternal blood, non-invasive fetal sex
determination has been the test most widely translated into clinical practice. To date there is …

BACKGROUND: Couples with a risk of transmitting X-linked diseases who are included in a
preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) programme need early and rapid fetal sex …

Objectives Prenatal diagnosis in families affected by X‐linked recessive disorders should
ideally be limited to the subjects at increased risk, ie male fetuses, in order to avoid the risk …
