Abstract

Advances in molecular genetics have led to prenatal DNA diagnosis. Molecular geneticists are currently using either an invasive or noninvasive approach for prenatal diagnosis. The research has been focussed in the last few years on the development of non-invasive techniques which do not harm the fetus. One such approach would be to isolate fetal cells from the maternal circulation.
