Abstract
Background: The existence of high concentrations of circulating fetal DNA i n maternal plasma may enable non-invasive prenatal diagnosis. There are man y applications of fetal DNA in maternal plasma for clinical diagnosis. Conc lusions: We expect fetal DNA in material plasma will be incorporated into p ast of the prenatal investigation of pregnant women in the near future. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
