Alternative splicing in normal and pathological human placentas is correlated to genetic variants.

abstract：:The alphafetoprotein (AFP) concentration in maternal serum was determined before and after chorionic villus sampling (CVS). A significant increase of 20% or more in the pre-CVS level was noted immediately after sampling in 59% of 837 pregnancies indicating some degree of feto-maternal haemorrhage. The increase in the ...
