Performance of non-invasive prenatal testing for trisomies 21 and 18 in twin pregnancies
Background Cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma represents a source of fetal genetic material that can be sampled noninvasively. There are ample studies confirming the accuracy of NIPT in singleton pregnancies, but there is still relatively little ...

Prenatal diagnosis of cystinosis [PDF]
Cystinosis was diagnosed in a small quantity of cultured amniotic cells from a 22-week-old fetus by a modified pulse-labeling technique in which intracellular 35SL-cystine retention was measured. As a result of the above finding, the pregnancy was terminated by administration of prostaglandin.
