In this study we evaluated the performance of a system for the enrichment, identification and analysis of fetal cells in maternal peripheral blood. Blood samples were collected from women after chorionic villus sampling and enriched for the presence of nucleated erythrocytes using a three-step proc

The potential use of fetal cells circulating in maternal blood for a non-invasive prenatal diagnosis has been widely described. Several authors have developed different methods for the enrichment of fetal cells from maternal peripheral blood. The aim of this study was to make a practical valuation o
In a pilot study to establish fetal nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) detection in maternal blood, trisomy 13 was diagnosed by FISH analysis at 11 weeks' gestation. The NRBCs were detected after a single-step ficoll density gradient enrichment. In blood samples taken both before and after CVS, 52 and
