Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and unconjugated oestriol (UE,) are used as second-trimester screening markers for the detection of various fetal abnormalities. Previous studies have suggested that second-trimester MSAFP is consistently elevated after la

## LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Cross-hybridization of the chromosome 13/21 alpha satellite DNA to chromosome 22 or a rare polymorphism? Verlinsky et al. reported a false-positive diagnosis due to a cross-hybridization of chromosome 13/21 alpha satellite DNA to chromosome 22 in a prospective large-scale
Second-trimester maternal serum screening for fetal Down's syndrome is well established in many Western countries. Its usefulness and acceptability is unknown in the Asian countries. Between June 1994 and December 1996, we offered second-trimester serum AFP and hCG screening to pregnant women in Hon
## Objective: To determine if women experiencing an unexplained elevated maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (msafp; > or =2.0 mom) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg; > or =2.0 mom), or low unconjugated estriol (e3; < or =0.5 mom) in one pregnancy are at increased risk for similar results in a subs
Fetal cells are present in the circulation of pregnant women and can be isolated using density gradient centrifugation and magnetic cell sorting. In the present study, maternal cell preparations were depleted for CD45and CD14-positive cells and enriched for CD71-positive cells. The number of fetal n
