Fetal cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of a pregnant woman at 19 weeks of gestation whose fetus had Down syndrome. An amniocentesis had been performed 2 weeks earlier because of abnormalities detected on an antenatal sonogram. Fetal cells were separated by fluorescence-activated cell so
Prenatal diagnosis is presently performed following invasive procedures with variable risks of fetal loss; non-invasive procedures using fetal cells in maternal blood would be welcome for the early detection of fetal sex or aneuploidy. We describe a simple and rapid protocol to detect fetal cells an
