Noninvasively diagnosing for fetal trisomy 21 by examining heterozygous single nucleotide polymorphisms in the placental specific genes on chromosome 21.

Objective: Noninvasive prenatal diagnosing for fetal trisomy 21 could help to avoid unnecessary amniocentesis. It is feasible to target the cell-free placental-specific mRNA in maternal plasma, thus eliminating the interference from the maternal genetic background.Study Design: In this study, placen...
