Abstract:
Circulating Nucleic acids (CNAs) are extracellular or cell free nucleic acids which circulate in the bloodstream of healthy pregnant animals. The presence of CNAs in maternal plasma offers the non-invasive prenatal diagnoses of pregnancy associated disorders and also gives opportunities to detect prenatal sex using circulating fetal Y chromosome specific nucleic acid sequence.
Keywords:
Cell free nucleic acid, prenatal sex determination, SRY, AMEL.
