Epsilon Haemoglobin Specific Antibodies with Applications in Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis
Invasive procedures for prenatal diagnosis are associated with increased risk of abortion; thus, development of noninvasive procedures would be beneficial. Based on the observation that embryonic nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) crosses the placenta and enters the circulation of pregnant women, the ability to identify such cell would allow development of such procedures. Identification of NRBCs ...
متن کاملProgress toward noninvasive prenatal diagnosis.
For decades, noninvasive analysis of the fetal genotype has been the holy grail of the field of prenatal diagnosis. Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) would use a sample source other than amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. The focus has been primarily on the use of maternal blood samples, with less attention given to the possibility of recovering fetal cells from maternal cervical s...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of the common haemoglobin disorders.
New techniques of DNA analysis have been applied to the prenatal diagnosis of the common haemoglobin disorders. Currently, it is possible to provide a comprehensive programme for the prevention of these conditions, although this entails the use of several different techniques including globin chain synthesis analysis, direct identification of mutations with restriction enzymes, linkage analysis...
متن کاملα-Thalassemia with Haemoglobin Adana mutation: prenatal diagnosis.
Thalassaemia carriers are common in the Asian region including Malaysia. Asymptomatic patients can be undiagnosed until they present for their antenatal visits. Devastating obstetric outcome may further complicate the pregnancy if both parents are thalassaemia carriers leading to hydrophic fetus due to haemoglobin Bart's disease. However in certain cases where unexplained hydrops fetalis occur ...
متن کاملNoninvasive prenatal diagnosis: from dream to reality.
I became interested in the area of prenatal diagnosis when I was a medical student at Oxford. I had been following the impressive advances occurring in the prenatal diagnosis of the hemoglobinopathies through the pioneering work of Prof. Yuet Wai Kan at the University of California San Francisco (1 ) and Prof. David Weatherall at Oxford (2 ). I also had the good fortune of getting firsthand exp...
