Evaluation of fetal echogenic bowel in the second trimester.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:In this prospective study, we assessed the feasibility of foetal RHD genotyping by analysis of DNA extracted from plasma samples of Rhesus (Rh) D-negative pregnant women using real-time PCR and primers and probes targeted toward exon 7 and 10 of RHD gene. METHODS:We analysed 24 RhD-negative pregnant woman an...
